AU-EU Business Forum 2025
Stronger Together: A Partnership for Shared Prosperity
The AU-EU Business Forum 2025 (AEBF2025) is a catalyst for action. Held alongside the AU-EU Summit in Luanda, Angola, this flagship event brings together high-level leaders from government, business and finance to forge future-looking partnerships, and drive shared prosperity across both continents.
Backed by the €150 billion Global Gateway Africa-Europe Investment Package, and aligned with the AU’s Agenda 2063, the EU is committed to connecting capital with opportunity in Africa’s most promising sectors – green energy, health, transport, agriculture and digital.
