President's message
ABC, 10 years of commitment for Africa
The African Business Club celebrates its ten years of existence in 2013.
10 years of commitment to Africa, 10 years during which we have put a lot of ourselves to show that Africa is a land of opportunities, a land full of future promises for work, business, investment but also a place to live.
And finally, 10 years of fruitful years and rich in events, projects and meetings:
• More than 50 conferences, attended by over 100 professionals,
• 8 recruitment forums, the Forum Elit ', with fifty companies and more than 5.000 participants in total,
• 30 projects for entrepreneurs received each year for the entrepreneurship contest ABC Innovation. 8 of them have been supported in their projects.
• 1.800 books sent to rebuild the University of Bouaké in Ivory Coast.
This year again, the African Business Club will be involved in the African growth by carrying on and continuing and deepening/extending its activities.
We want to increase our action/involvement in the investment sector by organizing an investment forum, the ABC Investment Forum, which will connect the various project stakeholders in Africa (States, employers' organizations, support organizations and investors).
In a spirit of openness, we will more focus on the English-speaking African countries, good examplesof the Africa that grows and innovates, particularly in the context of the entrepreneurship contests ABC Innovation.
Our flagship project, The Forum Elit ', which each year attracts more recruiters and graduates, will include more companies from diversified sectors. It will be supported throughout the year by our Career section where you can find all job offers of the companies participating to the 2012 and 2013 Forums.
And of course we will continue our fortnightly conferences, sparking always more debates and providing information on innovative sectors in Africa.
The year will end with a gala to celebrate this anniversary with all the professionals and people who have been following us for ten years.
I wish you all a very good return to work and hope to see you throughout the year at our various events.
