AFRICAN FORUM OF FAMILY BUSINESS AND WEALTH MANAGEMENT (FIAGEF)

The African Forum of Family Business and Wealth Management (FIAGEF), organized by GABRIEL WEALTH MANAGEMENT (GWEM), is the first annual event in French-speaking Africa dedicated to family businesses and wealth management. The AFBW aims to build a solid ecosystem bringing together entrepreneurs, wealthy families, asset managers, family offices, financial and non-financial players, as well as governments. Its aim is to provide practical solutions for preserving wealth, ensuring the long-term future of businesses and promoting innovation, intergenerational transfer and sustainable economic development. Conceived as a response to the challenges of generational transition and the lack of support for African entrepreneurs, AFBW aims to strengthen the prosperity of assets and businesses, thereby contributing to the sustainable development of Africa. Under the slogan «Building today, preserving tomorrow», this forum is positioned as a unique platform to respond to the major issues of business leaders and players in the Africa private sector.
