The EU International Business Forum on Transport and Strategic Corridors aims to boost investment in the transport sector, in line with the European Union's Global Gateway strategy.

The forum will bring together 500 participants from public institutions, private companies, financial actors and development partners. They will explore projects, partnerships, and financing along the Abidjan–Lagos and Abidjan–Ouagadougou corridors.
