Commonwealth Business Forum will take place in Apia, Samoa, 23-24 October 2024.
"The Commonwealth Business Forum (CBF) 2024 is the first held in the Pacific region since 2011, and the first held in a Small Island Developing State. This year’s CBF will take a lead from its host, reflecting the objectives and aspirations of the Commonwealth Pacific and small island member states, but it will remain the premier location to engage with Commonwealth Governments and provide networking opportunities with your peers and beyond.
Businesses will sit with governments to focus on the theme “One Resilient Common Future: Transforming Our Common Wealth”, underpinned by 5 critical thematic pillars: Access to Finance, Tech and Innovation, Reducing Barriers to Trade, Sustainability and Resilience and Transforming the Workforce.
The purpose of CBF is to convene Commonwealth expertise to bridge the gap between government and the private sector, and to recommend and champion Commonwealth-led solutions to global challenges." https://www.cweic.org/cbf/samoa-2024/
