Several hundreds of operators gathered in Algiers on 11 and 12 May at the African Forum on Investment and Trade. The African Union (AU), the Arab League, the African Export-Import Bank, the Arab Agricultural Investment and Development Agency (OAIDA) and the Islamic Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (CICIA) are among other organizations represented at this major event.

Placed under the theme "Africa is the future", this edition allowed participants to discover the Continental Free Trade Area, its assets, its functioning and its role in boosting trade, especially in the post-Covid-19 period. The event allowed Algeria to highlight its non-hydrocarbon export capacities. Training sessions, "B to B" meetings, meetings with heads of African bodies and visits to Algerian investment projects for the benefit of participating delegations furnished the exchanges.
