Business & Cultural Forums in Senegal & Côte d’ivoire

Overview

Since 2021, Ecole des Métiers d’Art has been organizing unique and innovative forums in three African countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

These forums bring together the business and cultural communities through conferences, masterclasses, keynote sessions, exhibitions, and networking opportunities. Our ambition is to create meaningful connections and foster long-term relationships between Europe and Africa, while encouraging the exchange of knowledge, expertise, ideas, and opportunities.

Over the years, we have collaborated with numerous companies, entrepreneurs, cultural organizations, and local institutions, building strong partnerships and creating platforms for dialogue and cooperation.

This initiative was created by Ecole des Métiers d’Art, an agency with a vision that is now evolving toward the creation of a foundation.

Our mission is built around two fundamental objectives:

• To promote and showcase African and European expertise, creativity, craftsmanship, culture, and entrepreneurial talent.
• To preserve and transmit knowledge, skills, traditions, and professional expertise from one generation to the next.

Through our forums and initiatives, we aim to build bridges between Africa and Europe, connect people and institutions, and create opportunities for collaboration, transmission, and cultural and economic development.
