In a significant move to foster economic collaboration and investment, Casablanca is preparing to welcome the Africa edition of the DiaspoBoost Summit on April 16 and 17, 2026. This international summit aims to highlight the crucial role of diasporas in stimulating economic growth across the African continent. By serving as a platform for investment and encouraging South-South cooperation, the summit promises to be a pivotal event for stakeholders involved in these sectors.
Themed "Diaspora & Development: the Moroccan Model," the summit will gather representatives from various institutions from Morocco, Belgium, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Organizers anticipate that the event will attract a diverse group of participants, including investors, entrepreneurs, experts, and economic stakeholders engaged in innovation, financing, and cooperative initiatives.
Notable figures expected to attend include André Nyembwe Musungaie, the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President of the DRC, who focuses on economic and financial matters; Bertin Mampaka Mankamba, the President of the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region; Isaac Mukendi Tshishimbi, the Deputy Mayor of the Limete commune; and Israel Tshimanga Mubenga, who heads the communication and tax civism promotion office at the DRC's general tax directorate.
The summit will address essential topics such as investment, entrepreneurship, taxation, innovation, training, and African economic cooperation. A key highlight of the event will be the launch of an operational monitoring committee aimed at overseeing collaborative projects between Morocco and the DRC. The organizers are committed to strengthening the economic ties between Africa and its diasporas, with a vision to position Morocco as a central hub for dialogue, investment, and vital continental cooperation.
