The 2026 edition of Africa-Europe Innovation Dialogues invites innovators from across Africa and Europe to convene in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire or online to discuss, network and collaborate.

From academia to civil society to start-ups, this event welcomes stakeholders across the value-chain to contribute to the dialogue and innovation.

The event will be held in an English-French format to encourage the diversity and richness of the Anglophone and Francophone innovation communities. Across the two-day programme, attendees can expect workshops, networking opportunities and ecosystem dialogue.

Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel, accommodation and visas.
