The organizers have indicated that this year’s event will focus on the issues and challenges involved in Africa’s economic and social transformation, adding that it will “bring to the forefront companies that are performing well both regionally and internationally, and leaders who have successfully taken up the challenge of building regional economic giants operating in vital economic sectors such as industry, agriculture, construction and public works, health, trade, infrastructure, and technology.
According to Forum President Khadija Idrissi Janati, “Ifrane Forum 2023 will be an opportunity to showcase African entrepreneurs who are on the right track to changing the continent’s economic destiny and inspiring African youth for Africa’s sustainable development”.
