The business forum was marked by five speeches: First, Minister of Economy and Investments, Mze Aboudou MOHAMED CHANFIOU, opened the ceremony; then Executive Secretary of CPAD, Assoumani ABDOUSALAM, introduced the “Comoros Emerging Plan” which will transform the Comoros by 2030; then Director General of the National Agency for the Promotion of Investments, Ms. Nadjat SOIDIKI, has presented the reforms undertaken to improve the business climate; follow Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Environment, Tourism and Handicrafts, Houmed MSAIDIE, highlighted tourism and agriculture opportunities. Finally, President AZALI closed the speeches by recalling the central place given to the private sector in the transformation of the Comoros.
During the B2B session which lasted 2 hours, twenty-nine business meetings were held in addition to the other informal discussions held outside the B2B rooms.
At the end of the forum, the following results were recorded, in particular the establishment of contact between the Comorian authorities and international entrepreneurs, the networking between Comorian and foreign companies, and the identification of 10 projects to be launched in the 12 months.
