The 3rd edition of the Choiseul Africa Business Forum took place this week in Casablanca.
Some 700 business leaders representing 60 nationalities attended the event, including Andry Rajoelina, President of #Madagascar, Aziz Akhannouch, Head of the Moroccan government, and Mariam Chabi Talata, Vice President of #Benin.
I had the pleasure to moderate for the 3rd time the session on the Creative and Cultural Industries.
Thanks to my panelists for their insightful contributions. A key theme of our discussion was the desire and willingness for more pan-African collaboration in the creative fields.
