Forum 2026

The sixt edition of the Italian-African Forum will be held from … to … 2026 at the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organisation (UN) in Turin.
The 2026 edition will be dedicated to the theme of economic and industrial partnership between Africa and Italy, with a particular focus on the role of female entrepreneurship as a driver of cooperation and sustainable development.
