Description
The Angola–EU Lobito Corridor Business Forum 2026 is a focused platform to accelerate investment and partnerships in agriculture, agroindustry, and transport & logistics along one of Africa’s most dynamic trade routes.
Building on the success of the 2023 Forum, which engaged over 800 participants across sectors, the 2026 edition will concentrate on these priority areas to transform dialogue into concrete projects and financing.
A key innovation of this forum is an early start of six weeks prior to the main event, featuring online briefings and virtual matchmaking. These sessions will enable businesses and institutions to identify partners and begin discussions in advance — making the in-person days in Angola more targeted, productive, and impactful.
Held over three days — possibly two in Luanda and one across the Lobito Corridor (with sessions in Benguela on transport and logistics, and in Huambo on agriculture and agroindustry) — the Forum will bring together leaders, investors, and businesses from Angola, neighbouring corridor countries, and Europe.
Through sector-focused discussions, matchmaking, project showcases, and field visits, the event will create a corridor of opportunity — linking markets, mobilising investment, and building lasting partnerships for sustainable growth.
