Concept The first “Ministerial Conference Italia-Africa”, organized in Rome the 18 of May 2016 by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, stressed the need to create a stable link between the two worlds. In order to give continuity to this new process, we propose a commercial and business Forum, the Italia Africa Business Week (IABW), which will have as goalto facilitate the knowledge between the economic, commercial and financial world of Africa and of Italy.
