As CEO of Oceanic Holding SARL, and on behalf of our strategic partners in organizing this event, it is my distinct honor and pleasure to welcome you to the official platform for the upcoming Sudanese–Senegalese Economic and Investment Forum and Exhibition, taking place from November 26 to 28, 2026.

We stand today at a pivotal moment in the trajectory of trade relations between West and East Africa. The demand for cross-border collaboration, shared industrial capabilities, and direct investment mechanisms has reached unprecedented levels. Conceived with a single, unified vision and a clear mission, this forum aims to turn strategic potential into tangible economic partnerships.

Why Senegal and Sudan? Why Now?

The bond between Sudan and Senegal is deeply rooted in decades of shared history, profound cultural connections, and common values. Linked historically through major trade routes, pilgrimage journeys, and a rich tradition of Islamic scholarship, our peoples have long maintained deep mutual respect and understanding. This shared social fabric—built on generosity, solidarity, and a strong sense of community—provides the ideal foundation for building a modern, sustainable economic partnership.

In addition to these cultural ties, both nations boast unique and diverse economic advantages. From infrastructure, agricultural technology, mining, and manufacturing to financial services, energy sectors, education, and cross-border trade networks, the opportunities for direct integration are vast and promising.

By gathering leaders, decision-makers, industry pioneers, investors, and ambitious entrepreneurs under one roof, we are establishing a dynamic environment designed to:

Accelerate Bilateral Trade: Establish direct channels between manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, and distribution networks in both countries.
Unveil Strategic Investment Opportunities: Present concrete investment projects across vital and diverse sectors from both sides.
Facilitate High-Level Networking: Provide a dedicated environment for Business-to-Business (B2B) and Government-to-Business (G2B) meetings to negotiate and seal strategic partnerships.

What to Expect Over the Three Days

Across its three days, the forum and exhibition will feature interactive panel discussions with sector experts, structured business-matching sessions for trade and investment, and an exhibition showcasing the latest products, services, and innovative industrial solutions.

Beyond the exhibition floor, our primary goal remains outcome-driven engagement—ensuring every participant leaves with valuable economic market intelligence, expanded networks, and actionable business opportunities.
