About us
The Ideas Fair is an annual event focused on exchange, knowledge sharing, and networking, aimed at the French-speaking community in Germany and across Europe. It's a meeting place for entrepreneurs, talented individuals, enthusiasts, and anyone looking to expand their network and seize job and business opportunities.
It's also an opportunity to enjoy artistic performances and savor African cuisine with elegance. The event is designed to create an ecosystem conducive to the sharing of knowledge and skills, and aims to build a bridge between German and/or European companies and institutions and the often-overlooked talents of African origin. Our slogan is "Connecting Africa and Europe through talent, entrepreneurship, and gastronomy."
LFDI is an event that prioritizes quality over quantity and takes place annually on the first Saturday of September for a full day. The event is structured as a daytime and evening networking program consisting of:
1. Several roundtables on selected topics
2. Various workshops or masterclasses on specific topics
3. A culinary journey through Cameroonian cuisine in several dishes
4. A live musical show
5. A networking evening
