Nordic-African Foreign Ministers Business Forum

The Business Forum forms part of the 23rd Nordic–African Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, hosted by Norway under the theme “Dialogue in an era of uncertainty. United for a prosperous future.” It will bring together Nordic and African ministers, private-sector representatives, business organisations, financing institutions, development actors and youth representatives.

The Forum is designed as a platform for substantive dialogue and relationship-building rather than a conventional trade fair. It aims to identify shared interests, improve understanding of investment opportunities and constraints, and support practical connections between Nordic and African actors.

Registration, approval and access

Stakeholders considering participation are invited to contact NAFM@liwlig.no  by October 17, including in the e-mail the company or institution they register on behalf of. They will then receive a link to the registration form, which must be completed in English. To encourage focused and

structured dialogue, participation will as a general guideline be limited to ten participants per country. This is in addition to the participants registered as part of the official delegation to NAFM.

Submission of the form does not constitute confirmation of attendance. Participation is confirmed only once the registration has been formally approved. Where a visa is required, a visa support letter will be issued.

Accreditation is personal and non-transferable. Confirmed participants must bring a valid passport, driving licence or nationally issued identity card when collecting their badge. Emergency passports and digital driving licences cannot be accepted. Badges must be worn visibly at the venue. Access is limited to the programme elements stated in the confirmation.
