The French capital is set to host the 2nd edition of the Investment, Real Estate and Energy Fair for Africa (SIIMEA), a three-day international event bringing together investors, real estate professionals, energy sector actors, and representatives from several African countries.

For this edition, Côte d’Ivoire is the guest of honor, highlighting its economic opportunities and major projects in investment, real estate, and energy. The fair aims to create a strategic meeting point between public and private stakeholders, stimulate investment, and promote sustainable development across the African continent.

SIIMEA 2026 will allow participants to explore high-potential projects, innovations, and new trends in renewable energy and urban development, while facilitating networking between European and African investors. The event also serves as a platform for the African diaspora in Europe, who are encouraged to play a key role in financing and supporting projects across the continent.

The first edition in 2025 attracted thousands of visitors and official delegations, establishing SIIMEA as a key platform for promoting investment in Africa. The second edition aims to build on this success, offering a rich program of conferences, workshops, and B2B meetings.

By highlighting Côte d’Ivoire, SIIMEA 2026 emphasizes the country’s role as a strategic economic hub in West Africa, while reaffirming the importance of international partnerships for the continent’s development.
