Returning to Nairobi on June 14-15 for what will be the event’s 15th anniversary, GTR East Africa will bring together leading commodity producers and traders, manufacturers, trade finance specialists, risk management experts and trade tech innovators to provide unrivalled insight on this exciting region.

With over 300 delegates expected to attend, 2023’s event will once again provide the region’s leading platform for crucial debate on the key issues impacting the region’s trade, commodity and infrastructure financing markets, from the need for specialised financing and technology to reinforce regional supply chains and bolster food security to hard currency liquidity challenges and sovereign debt sustainability concerns.

We look forward to seeing you there!
