State of the World: Implications for Business in East Africa
As global geopolitical dynamics shift at an unprecedented pace, businesses in East Africa are navigating an increasingly complex landscape. The ongoing conflict in the Gulf is sending shockwaves through global energy markets, shipping routes and commodity prices adding urgency to an already volatile environment and forcing businesses to rethink their strategies.
This breakfast session will explore how these forces are shaping both risks and opportunities for companies across East Africa, with a particular focus on what the current global realignment means for European businesses looking to deepen their engagement in the region whether in trade and investment, supply chain diversification or the energy transition.
We are pleased to welcome expert speakers from the European Union, Africa Global Logistics and Bowmans, bringing perspectives on EU-East Africa trade and investment relations, regional supply chains, and the legal and regulatory considerations that shape how businesses operate and manage risk in a changing environment.
In partnership with the French Chamber of Commerce and the Netherlands Business Hub, the event will bring together business leaders, policymakers and industry experts to share practical insights and support strategic decision-making amid global uncertainty.
