ACABEX 2026

The Africa–Canada–Asia Business Exchange (ACABEX) 2026 is a high-level, week-long international business forum designed to connect three of the world’s most dynamic and complementary regions. ACABEX will convene government leaders, CEOs, investors, development institutions, and innovators to accelerate trade, investment, technology transfer, and strategic partnerships.
