In the refined halls of Geneva’s International Conference Centre, on June 13, 2025, the world’s most discerning business minds will converge for the Swiss-African Business Day, a landmark summit that continues to set the tone for economic cooperation between Switzerland and the African continent.
Tailored for elite investors, policymakers, and corporate strategists, the event is an invitation to witness and shape the future of Africa-Switzerland business diplomacy.
Organized by the Swiss-African Business Circle (SABC) under the auspices of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), this annual event has grown into a high-level rendezvous that transcends the ordinary conference.
With over 350 select participants expected from more than 30 countries, including CEOs, trade envoys, and investment leaders, the 2025 edition promises even deeper engagement and sharper economic foresight.
This year’s theme, “Leading the Way: The Role of National Private Sector Organizations in Fostering an Enabling Business Environment on the African Continent”, sits at the core of Africa’s renaissance in global commerce. Delegates will gain privileged insights into the evolution of private sector ecosystems, their power to influence policy, and their impact on investment-ready landscapes across the continent.
The program is meticulously curated, balancing influential keynotes with focused breakout sessions across high-potential sectors: agribusiness, healthcare, infrastructure, vocational training, and commodity value chains.
Each session opens the floor to strategic conversations that transcend borders, where African ambition meets Swiss precision.
For elite business leaders, the Swiss-African Business Day is more than just a summit, it’s a gateway. A platform where bold ideas are matched with capital, where trust is forged over dialogue, and where public-private partnerships find fertile ground to grow.
From dynamic networking lounges to tailored B2B matchmaking, every moment is engineered for meaningful engagement.
On the eve of the event, the International Trade Centre (ITC) will host an exclusive welcome cocktail at its headquarters, setting the tone for a summit defined by elegance, vision, and influence.
In a world where global alliances increasingly determine the pace of growth, Swiss-African Business Day 2025 is the pinnacle of connection, where elite decision-makers don’t just attend, they lead.
For those committed to shaping the next chapter of African prosperity and Swiss global enterprise, the invitation is clear: Geneva awaits.
