Africa Summit in Budapest

This year for the 6th time the “Africa Summit” in Budapest shall be organized, by the African-Hungarian Union, the Afrika Holding Company, the Budapest Chamber of Commerce and the Budapest Corvinus University.
The 6th Africa Summit will take place during the Hungarian EU Presidency part of the official EU programme on 19-20th May 2011 with the title “Challenges and Responses – Hungary for the Success of Africa”. This year, the international conference (in English) will be hosted by the Zsigmond Király College.

The agenda of the conference shall focus on three major issues: food, water and energy, which issues are also incorporated within the objectives of the Hungarian Presidency’s 2nd priority “Stronger Europe”. The Hungarian Presidency considers it of key significance to strengthen these policies, and consequently Europe as well.

The main objective of the international meeting is to introduce those solutions concerning of these three issues, which have been proved to be successful and efficient, and also could be adapted in African countries.

We are expecting leaders of national organizations, chambers and institutions having interest in Africa and its economy, and also our international partners, representatives of related professional organizations of the European Union, the African Union, the AWEPA and the UN, as well as governmental bodies and institutions, and also participants of the AU-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly’s Budapest meeting.

We believe that Hungary can also contribute to make Africa the continent of opportunities from an economic aspect as well, and Africa can also support the growth of Hungary. We have common goals: sustainable economic and social development, secure food production, clean drinking water, and environmentally sound energy solutions. Our past went different ways, but we share the future. We decide how to shape it!

We hope to have the honour to welcome you as participant at our Summit.
