The Forum will evolve around the following main activities:

1. Reflection on enhancing the relevance and effectiveness of the EU-Africa Business Forum will be based on the state of play in EPA negotiations, an assessment of achievements so far in implementing past recommendations and a review of global and regional situation and development prospects.
2. A panel of key figureheads from international bodies and the business community will share their views about business challenges and opportunities in Africa to guide and set the stage for further discussions.
3. The forum will seek to formulate specific and precise recommendations, as well as implementation roadmaps, in 5 key areas: Trade, Infrastructure, ICT, SME entrepreneurship and Energy & raw materials. This will be achieved through debates in breakout sessions.
