Ambition Africa 2026 will be held at the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty at Bercy, Paris, from 24 to 25 November. It is the eighth edition of the annual Franco-African business meeting organised by Business France.
The event is hosted at Bercy under the high patronage of the President of the Republic, with the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. It gathers ministers, ambassadors, African and French business delegations and investors for two days of conferences and B2B meetings on trade and investment between France and African markets.
For executives, Ambition Africa is the official French platform for African business, and the setting signals the political weight behind it. Chief executives and international development directors of French groups meet African counterparts, ministers and investors in one place, while African companies seeking French partners, technology or capital use the B2B programme to open conversations with potential partners. Investors attend to identify projects and partners across the continent, and the ministerial presence gives both sides access to the officials who shape trade policy.
Dates are confirmed on the Business France b2match registration platform, the official registration channel; the practical information page on the Business France event site still showed prior-year content at the time of writing.
