Togo’s capital, Lomé, will host the UK–West and Central Francophone Africa Forum (UK–WCAF) on November 12 and 13, bringing together more than 600 participants, including policymakers, investors, and business leaders from several countries.
Jointly organized by the Togolese government, the UK Department for Business and Trade, and partners such as UK Export Finance and DMA Invest, the forum will highlight investment opportunities, trade partnerships, and financing mechanisms to strengthen economic cooperation between the United Kingdom and Francophone countries in West and Central Africa. Discussions will also address national economic priorities and ongoing reforms to enhance competitiveness and investment attractiveness.
The event comes as Togo continues efforts to improve its business climate and attract more foreign investors. For Lomé, it will be an opportunity to showcase its logistical and commercial advantages—including its deep-water port and pro-investment tax reforms—to deepen ties with British economic partners.
