Côte d'Ivoire North-American Business Forum
The third edition of the CINAB Forum — held 13–14 October 2026 at Hôtel Ivoire — is one of Côte d'Ivoire's principal international showcases for economic promotion. It presents the priority sectors of the National Development Plan 2026–2030, the country's major structural projects, and the reforms shaping the business climate.
The Economic Promotion Service of Côte d'Ivoire to the United States, Canada and Mexico (SPECI) was established on July 12, 2012. It results from the vision and the initiative of His Excellency Mr. Alassane Dramane Ouattara to reposition Côte d'Ivoire on the international level and to attract massively American investors.
The Côte d'Ivoire North America Business Forum is an initiative led by the Economic Promotion Service of Côte d'Ivoire to the United States, Canada, and Mexico (SPECI-USA). Under the leadership of His Excellency Ambassador Inza Camara, who serves as the Delegate General, this service has skillfully formulated strategies with the goal of enhancing the country's economic position.
It also identifies, supports, and promotes opportunities for North American investors who are keen on exploring the potential that Côte d'Ivoire has to offer. This unwavering dedication acts as a vital bridge, facilitating productive collaborations between Ivorian businesses and North American stakeholders.
The 2026 edition puts special emphasis on the strategic sectors that anchor the National Development Plan 2026–2030 — from agri-industry and mining to fintech, AI, and the green economy.
Convened by SPECI-USA under the high patronage of the Presidency of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, and organized in partnership with U.S., Canadian, and Mexican institutional partners.
