Singapore to host Africa Business Forum with over 700 leaders in attendance

The Africa Singapore Business Forum (ASBF) will bring together over 700 business and government leaders from Singapore, Asia, and Africa to explore strategic partnerships and investments.

The 8th edition of the ASBF will take place from August 26-28, 2025, in Singapore, under the theme “Bridging Capabilities, Charting Sustainable Growth.”

The forum will address key topics such as Africa’s growing integration, the role of fintech and logistics, and cutting-edge solutions for rapid urban development. EnterpriseSG will facilitate business matching sessions to catalyze partnerships and investments between African and Singaporean companies.

“We’re seeing growing interest in emerging areas such as carbon markets,” said Rahul Ghosh, Director for Middle East and Africa, EnterpriseSG. “By bringing together businesses across Africa and Asia, ASBF 2025 will be the catalyst for strategic partnerships and investments.”

Singapore’s Minister in charge of Trade Relations, Ms. Grace Fu will deliver the opening address at the ASBF. The forum will also feature insights from African business and government leaders, including Samaila Zubairu and Stephen Jennings.

The ASBF comes against the backdrop of an increasingly complex international trade environment and market fragmentation.

With trade between Africa and Singapore reaching $12.4 billion in 2023 and Singapore’s cumulative foreign direct investments into Africa standing at $24.0 billion as of 2022, the forum is poised to drive more partnerships and investments between African and Singaporean companies.
