Partners

The Baobab Conference 2027 is made possible by organisations that share our commitment to African research and to lasting Japan–Africa partnerships. We are grateful to the partners listed below.

Ways to take part

We approach each organisation individually, with an invitation matched to its interests. Organisations can contribute to the programme without becoming financial sponsors. Possible forms of engagement include:

  • Financial sponsorship of the conference.
  • Keynote or panel participation.
  • Research–industry matchmaking: tell us the topics, sectors or questions relevant to your work, and meet researchers working on them.
  • Exhibition or demonstration opportunities at the venue.
  • Reviewer support for the Academic Committee.

To discuss a partnership, contact the organising committee.
