The Chamber
FSACCI Represented at Africa Forward by Its Leadership
The French South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry will be actively represented at the Africa Forward: Inspire & Connect business forum in Nairobi on 11 May 2026 by its Chairperson, Dr Yves Guénon, alongside Mr Sébastien De Place.
The Africa Forward: Inspire & Connect business forum will open the summit jointly organised by France and Kenya on 11 and 12 May 2026. The summit will bring together Mr. Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic, and Mr. William Ruto, President of the Republic of Kenya, and African Heads of State and Government.
Under the High Patronage of both president, and co-organised by Bpifrance, Business France, and Proparco (groupe AFD), Africa Forward: Inspire & Connect brings together more than 1,500 economic and institutional leaders from Africa and France. It will highlight the depth of Franco-African economic partnerships by showcasing projects, innovations, and initiatives led by the private sector.
Their participation reflects FSACCI’s continued commitment to strengthening economic ties between South Africa, France, and the wider African continent. It also highlights the Chamber’s role in connecting business leaders, fostering partnerships, and supporting concrete investment and trade opportunities.
Through their presence, Dr Guénon and Mr De Place will engage with key stakeholders, contribute to discussions on innovation and growth, and further position FSACCI as a key facilitator of Franco-African business collaboration.
