TEAM FRANCE GALA DINNER 2026

Join Team France for an evening of business, influence and celebration, connecting leaders to build the future of France–South Africa relations.

An Evening Celebrating the Future of France–South Africa Business

The French South African Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FSACCI), Business France South Africa and the Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur de la France (CCE South Africa) are delighted to invite you to the Team France Gala Dinner 2026 — an exceptional evening celebrating the enduring strength and continued evolution of the France–South Africa business relationship.

As a flagship gathering of the French business community in South Africa, the Gala Dinner will bring together business leaders, government representatives, diplomats, investors, institutional partners and members of the wider Team France community for an evening of meaningful connections, strategic dialogue, recognition and celebration.

This year's theme, “Building Tomorrow Together,” reflects our shared ambition to shape a stronger and more prosperous future through investment, industrialisation, innovation, partnership and excellence.

AN EVENING OF INFLUENCE, DIALOGUE & CELEBRATION

Set against the elegant backdrop of the Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff Johannesburg, the evening will provide a prestigious platform for high-level engagement and meaningful networking.

Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a high-level exchange exploring the present and future of the France–South Africa economic partnership, as well as the role of business in supporting South Africa's economic priorities and unlocking new opportunities for investment, industrial development and collaboration.

The evening will also celebrate business excellence through the presentation of three France–South Africa Business Excellence Awards, recognising organisations and partnerships making a meaningful contribution to the bilateral business relationship:

1. France–South Africa Partnership Award
2. Innovation & Digital Transformation Award
3. Industrialisation & Local Manufacturing Award

The Gala Dinner will combine strategic engagement, thought leadership, recognition and premium networking in an elegant and celebratory setting.
