The second edition of Africa E-Market Conference and Exhibition, organised by Extel Hunt Africa, is scheduled to hold online on 29 January from 10 am.
With the theme ‘Navigating Financial Uncertainty: Strategies for Business Resilience and Growth’, the speakers include pharmacist, politician and business executive, Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa; former Director General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Ben Akabueze; Executive Director at Fidelity Bank Plc, Dr. Kenneth Opara; former World Bank consultant, Mr. Fanente Acho; and Eswatini’s Alice Lucia Hungwane.
Chief Accounting Officer of Extel Hunt Africa, Dr. Dan Ukpabi noted that the conference is a regular e-exhibition/market, which is hosted online with the participation of businesses/companies across Africa and investors/buyers to drive strategic Intra African trade collaboration.
The webinar promises to provide private exhibition booths for registered organisations; B2B collaborations; panel discussions, direct marketing pitches, and guaranteed back-end service for seamless B2B collaborations.
The first edition was hosted on 20 November 2024. According to Ukpabi, “at ExtelHunt Africa, our vision is to facilitate intra-African trade to reach 50 per cent by the year 2030. We promote African businesses and trade by showcasing the various goods and services within the continent, while using our in-country representatives across Africa to facilitate this.
“Driven by the passion to see Africans trade more within Africa, as a first point of call for any goods and services, we thus request that you grant us the opportunity to partner with you in this vision. We’re building a sustainable intra-African trade hub and request you come along with us.
“The birth of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area has opened up our dear Africa to the opportunity of realising her greatest economic and human capital potentials. And this is envisaged to increase intra-African trade, which is expected to bring about improvement in Africa’s macroeconomic conditions”.
