The GABS is Germany’s premier business event in Africa. Held every two years, the GABS is the pivotal platform that unites leading business and government figures from Germany and Africa.

Our mission is to foster and advance the economic ties between Europe’s largest economy and the world’s fastest-growing region.

Organized by the Sub-Saharan Africa Initiative of German Business (SAFRI), GABS stands as a testament to our commitment to building strong, mutually beneficial partnerships. Under the esteemed leadership of SAFRI Chairman Thomas Schäfer, this summit provides an unparalleled opportunity for dialogue, collaboration, and innovation.
