With its geostrategic position at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean maritime routes, offering direct maritime access to the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa and Asia, Madagascar has a strong diversity of mineral resources (precious stones, nickel, cobalt and petroleum) as well as a strong agricultural potential. Thanks to its attractive climate and landscapes, Madagascar has been able to foster its tourism as well in the Malagasy economy.

The Malagasy government has launched numerous initiatives to promote the country’s industrialization, particularly regarding staple products, agricultural development, and food sovereignty. Working on the attractiveness of foreign investment tends to be a key solution as well, since it represents a real growth lever capable of curbing the economic shock linked to the coronavirus pandemic and climate change.

The “Invest in Madagascar" session will bring together high-level personalities who will present these issues. It will be articulated in two panels: the first dedicated to “made in Madagascar" and the second to the presentation of business opportunities offered by the country.
