The Choiseul Africa Business Forum: Promoting growth
This third edition of the conference, organized by Institut Choiseul, in partnership with the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM) and the Casablanca-Settat Region is intended to bring together key business figures to discuss opportunities and major African economic issues.
