GTR Africa returned to sunny Cape Town, South Africa on March 10-11, providing a one of a kind event for the trade and export finance community. Over two days, the hybrid event welcomed 600 participants from all corners of the world and saw the region’s trade, commodity and export finance community back together once again for a vibrant return to in-person networking and debate.

Delegates gained unrivalled insights into the latest trends and developments impacting African trade, export and infrastructure financing through an extensive programme of over 60 expert speakers, while the exhibition hall provided an invaluable opportunity for participants to network and connect with industry leaders, peers and potential clients.

We look forward to returning to Cape Town on March 16-17, 2023! More details found here!
