This three-day forum brings together business leaders, investors, government representatives and project developers to discuss trade and investment partnerships between the United Kingdom and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Organised by the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, KNG Strategy and the UK–DRC Business Partnership Consortium, the event focuses on identifying commercially viable projects and building lasting collaborative relationships.
The programme spans sector-specific panels and workshops covering infrastructure, energy, mining, agriculture, trade and financial services. Attendees will have access to networking opportunities, arranged one-to-one meetings between businesses and government institutions, exhibitor presentations and sessions tailored for organisations seeking partners, financing or market entry support. The Forum opens with a parliamentary reception on 2 November, followed by two days of conference sessions and business engagement on 3–4 November, concluding with the British Award for African Development.
