The EU–Sub-Saharan Africa days will take place on 18-19 September during EXPO Milano 2015. The theme of EXPO, which is taking place from 1 May - 31 October, is 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life'.

The EU–Sub-Saharan Africa days will have the same format as the Missions for Growth conducted by this Directorate-General over the past years. They will include:

  • A session in the morning of 18 September where the European Commission will present the tools in favour of internationalisation and business relations between the EU and Sub-Saharan African countries.
  • Business-to-business meetings, which will take place in the afternoon of 18 September and in the morning of 19 September. These will focus on the following food-related sectors: agro-food manufacturing, food security, safety and quality control, food traceability, food conservation and shelf life, health biotechnology, water technologies, space applications for agriculture, environmental management, energy production, renewable energies and other topics relevant to the thematic focus of the brokerage event.

A visit to the exhibition is foreseen for some participants.
