This event, now well-known and appreciated by the Djiboutian business community, will undoubtedly enliven the commercial center. Designed as a promotional showcase for exhibitors, this year’s edition will also focus on regional integration and economic cooperation.
It will bring together the local private sector, regional and international investors and entrepreneurs looking to take advantage of the economic growth in the Horn of Africa. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the sustainable development of the region while showcasing our country’s assets and economic diversity.
Djibouti also serves as a gateway to other booming African countries
Business opportunities are not limited to the local market. Djibouti also serves as a gateway to other booming African countries. The event provides a springboard to a dynamic and promising market of over 400 million people, COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa). At the DIF, visitors will of course be able to discover the flagship sectors of the Djibouti economy. These include logistics, infrastructure, energy, tourism and hospitality, information technology, manufacturing and many others. What’s more, this week of business events will offer cultural immersion through ‘country evenings’ and high-level networking through panel discussions and debates on current national and regional issues.
The business, investment and networking event for the Horn of Africa
Hence, the Djibouti International Fair is much more than just a trade event, it’s the « business, investment and networking » meeting place for the Horn of Africa. I would particularly like to thank the President of the Republic, Ismaël Omar Guelleh, the Government and all its partners for their trust. I would also like to thank the sponsors whose technical and financial investments will ensure the success of this meeting.
