Welcome to our blog, your gateway to the latest updates and insights about AFEX, the premier international event focusing on business in Africa. Join us as we explore key developments, industry trends, and exciting opportunities that AFEX brings to Istanbul and beyond.
Istanbul: A Strategic Hub for AFEX
Istanbul, an ancient city linking two continents, is uniquely positioned at the heart of international business. Serving as a manufacturing capital, a transcontinental logistic hub and a commercial center, Istanbul currently hosts more that 40,0000 international companies. There are 67 direct flights between Istanbul and African cities, highest number in the world. This makes Istanbul an especially pivotal location for Africa, considering it is connecting the continent to the rest of the globe. In spite of all these numbers, the most staggering statistic could be this: Istanbul has access to a market of $30 trillion comprised of 2 billion people, within 4 hours of flight range. Pretty remarkable, right?
Given all that, it is easy to understand why Istanbul is the ideal place for hosting an international business event focusing on Africa. Thanks to its geographical proximity, strategic location, and the strong presence of international companies, Istanbul provides the perfect setting for conventions aiming to facilitate new networks and collaborations.
