Review of the Fourth Edition of the Choiseul Africa Business Forum
Organized under the High Patronage of his Majesty the King Mohammed VI and in partnership with the Casablanca-Settat Region and the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), the fourth edition of the prominent investment forum, Choiseul Africa Business Forum was held on November 16th and 17th, 2023, in Casablanca, Morocco.
As the sovereignty of nations is shaken by globalisation of trade and the successive crises, necessitating the exploration of new horizons in economic diplomacy, the issue of Africa’s economic sovereignties was at the heart of the discussions in this fourth edition of the Choiseul Africa Business Forum.
