EU-Zambia Business Forum

The “EU-Zambia business forum: Growing the Copper Industry through sustainable value chains” is a business forum that builds on a study commissioned by the EU, on the various opportunities for expanding and enforcing the EU-Zambia copper-trade.

In essence, the study uncovered no less than 9 different areas with under-utilised potential for expanding and growing the Zambian copper-industry, which can largely be separated into three categories:

1. Upstream opportunities (though not exploration and extraction)
2. Downstream opportunities
3. Opportunities within circular economy relating to re-processing and selling by-products from copper mining

Therefore, the EU is now hosting a business forum in collaboration with relevant local partners, that will aim to forge EU-Zambian business partnerships to begin realising these opportunities, as well as igniting a series of dialogues around important issues such as:

• ESG regulations and its implications for EU-Zambian investments and other financial agreements
• Business development in Zambia
• Potential investment-barriers and how to overcome them

The program will therefore contain a mixture of panel-debates, keynote talks, but importantly also individual Business-to-Business meetings.

Participation is free but requires application and subsequently approval, since each participant will be screened and selected in order to ensure a highly relevant audience.
