South Africa Day 2021 in Stuttgart on 15 October 2021

Africa is a continent of opportunity with enormous investment potential for Baden-Württemberg companies. At the same time, cooperation offers great opportunities for Africa to promote local jobs & sustainable prosperity.

With political modernization and reform efforts as well as an emerging middle class, South Africa offers a big market and the gateway to southern Africa. A good infrastructure, immense raw material reserves and a young population are among South Africa's other strengths.

We are delighted to invite you to South Africa Day 2021, where we will receive insights on the political and economic situation in South Africa, trade relations between South Africa and Baden-Württemberg, and the qualities of South Africa as a travel destination.*

It is a special pleasure for us to welcome H.E. Ambassador Phumelele Stone Sizani who will share with us his point of view.

The event language is English; German translation will be provided.
