Canada-Africa Business Conference: Unlocking New Opportunities in Feb 2026

The fifth Canada-Africa Business Conference is set to take place on 5 February 2026 in Windhoek, Namibia, bringing together senior executives, investors, policymakers, and institutional partners. The program will include senior-level panels, sector-specific discussions, and private roundtables aimed at accelerating investment, supporting responsible project development, and strengthening collaboration between Namibian enterprises and international partners. B2Gold Namibia Country Manager John Roos says Namibia’s reputation for regulatory certainty and long-term policy stability has made it an attractive destination for international capital and partnerships. “The Canada-Africa Business Conference provides a valuable platform for practical dialogue between operators, investors, and policymakers, helping to advance projects that contribute to long-term national development, which we are pleased to support,” Roos says. Among the Canadian business executives attending is Wayne Floreani, co-founder of MineAfrica, who emphasises the nation’s importance in the global mining landscape as well as opportunities beyond mining. “We have had the pleasure of showcasing Namibia during PDAC in Toronto each year along with Canadian miners active in the country including B2Gold, Koryx Copper, Northern Graphite and Namibia Critical Metals,” Floreani says. “I look forward to welcoming Canadian companies who wish to join the conference as our guests, by contacting the Chamber or myself directly.” Mining is Namibia’s leading economic sector, contributing roughly 10% of the country’s gross domestic product every year. The nation is the fourth largest uranium oxide producer and also produces gold, copper, zinc, and rare earths. Write to Aaliyah Rogan at Mining.com.au Images: Canada-Africa Chamber of Business
