This high-profile event is to be organised by the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture, and Services of Guinea-Bissau (CCIAS), alongside the Professional Association of Banks and Financial Institutions of Guinea-Bissau (APBEF-GB).
Under the theme: "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Structural Transformation of African Economies: Role and Impact of WAEMU SMEs," this year’s edition will gather SMEs, financial institutions, business leaders, and high-ranking officials from over 23 countries. The event will explore the critical role SMEs play in driving innovation, job creation, and sustainable economic growth across the WAEMU region.
His Royal Highness Prince Sanyang has been specifically invited to speak at the Round Table discussion titled “Investing in Guinea-Bissau and WAEMU Countries,” scheduled for Friday, November 8. His presentation, “How to Transform Bubaque into a Tourist Hub Through its Airport,” will be a highlight of the event, showcasing innovative strategies for boosting tourism and regional economic development through infrastructure investments.
The WAEMU Banks and SMEs Fair has become a cornerstone for fostering cooperation, investment, and partnership opportunities across West Africa, with a particular focus this year on implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreements to support and enhance the competitiveness of SMEs.
In recognition of his distinguished efforts to promote economic growth and investment in Africa, Prince Sanyang will also attend the gala dinner on Saturday, November 9, where prominent personalities and SMEs that have excelled in promoting development in the region will be honoured.
