Background

The EU-African Union (AU) Summit will take place on 17-18 February 2022. It will lay the foundations for a renewed, deeper EU-AU partnership .

The Summit traditionally leads to the organisation of a number of side events, as part of the Africa Week and the EU-Africa Business Forum, involving various stakeholders from the partnership.

The workshop ‘Fostering higher education-business cooperation: Promoting opportunities for youth entrepreneurship’ is one of these side events, organised by the Commission’s Directorate-General for education, youth, sport and culture (DG EAC).
