We are delighted to welcome you to the registration page for the 3rd African Union MSME Forum 2024, which will be held in Windhoek, Namibia, from September 9th to 13th. This important event is organized by the African Union Commission’s Department for Economic Development, Trade, Tourism, Industry, and Minerals (AUC-ETTIM) and hosted by the Namibia Investment Promotion Development Board (NIPDB).

The forum, themed “Fostering Financial Empowerment and Educational Innovation for African Startups & MSMEs,” aims to create a collaborative environment where MSMEs can enhance their skills, engage in meaningful policy dialogues, and explore the numerous benefits of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Throughout the week, participants will benefit from a comprehensive capacity-building program that includes various side events and panel discussions. A highlight of the forum will be the launch of the Enterprise Africa Network (EAN) Fellowship program, which offers a 12-month intensive training and mentorship opportunity for MSMEs across key sectors such as Agriculture, Manufacturing, ICT, the Mineral Sector, and Creative Industries.

*Please note that you are responsible for your own participation including travel and accommodation whilst in Namibia.
