Richesses d'Afrique MasterClass Germany 2026

Especially for you. Most attendees grew up in DACH or wider Europe and have only seen Africa through family visits or the news. The speakers on stage built their companies starting from exactly where you are — with the same questions, the same fears, the same parents telling them not to.

You don't need either. What you need are people who can introduce you to the right contacts in Africa, a clear picture of where the open doors are, and a plan you can act on the next morning. Some of the people who succeeded most in this room started with €0 and a phone.

The reason most people lose money on their first try in Africa isn't the market — it's that they didn't know how to send a container without it disappearing, how to check if a partner is real, how to handle customs, how to actually get paid. This day saves you ten years of expensive mistakes, told by people who already paid for them. You leave with a checklist, not just inspiration.

Each masterclass and panel is built around concrete questions: "How did you find your first distributor?" "How did you raise your seed round?" "How did you survive your first regulatory crisis?" Vague war-stories don't make the cut. The people on stage are there to teach, not to perform.

Some of it is. Most of it isn't — and the people on stage will tell you exactly which countries, which industries and which partners they trust with their own money in 2026, and which ones they avoid. You won't get this from the news. You get it from people who do business there every month.

Sessions run in English and French depending on the speaker. Keynotes have simultaneous interpretation into German. Slides and printed materials are bilingual EN/DE.
