Result-oriented, fact-based, continuous
Encounter, Knowledge, Communication
We promote global responsibility and multilateral cooperation by networking key actors and leaders from Africa and Europe at our high-level events. Results and policy recommendations are prepared through studies and strategy papers while we are in continuous exchange with our network. Thus, we ensure that the dialogue has a lasting impact on political discourse. Our focus areas are business and global health as well as pressing political topics. In doing so, we also include the intersecting topics climate, advancement of women and digital matters in our program.
