OVERVIEW

The Africa-EU Week on Competition Policy has come to its third edition, and will take place from the 23rd to the 27th of September 2024, in Bruges with more than 40 participants coming from at least 20 African countries.

This forum will offer a relevant opportunity for the exchange of experiences between the competition regimes at the national and regional level across Africa and those of the European Commission and the EU Member States. The discussions will aim to enhance increased awareness and understanding of different approaches to competition challenges and their contexts between the EU and Africa

This week-long program will provide a platform for dialogue focusing of the assessment of key competition practices and their underlying legal frameworks. The week will help promoting international cooperation, and fostering fair competition policies and enforcement worldwide for the benefit of consumers and companies across Africa and the EU.

Organised in collaboration with the European Commission, the Africa-EU Week on Competition Policy will consist of in-person lectures, workshops and seminars delivered by EU and African speakers and will be held in English and French.
