Bridge to Africa 2026
25–28 de mayo | University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
Now in its second edition, Bridge to Africa brings together institutional leaders, researchers, international experts, companies, and organizations to reflect on the main challenges and opportunities for cooperation between the two continents.
Over the course of five days, the event will feature keynote speakers, institutional and business roundtables, sessions with technical experts, and the 4th International Congress of Young Researchers on Africa.
The program will address some of the key areas for shared development between the Canary Islands and Africa:
- Environment and energy transition
- Health and healthcare cooperation
- Education and university cooperation
- Sustainable economy and innovation
- Culture, society, and African geopolitics
In addition, Bridge to Africa features a parallel cultural program with exhibitions, cultural events, and concerts that will introduce the public to the artistic diversity of the African continent.
Bridge to Africa thus establishes itself as a space for dialogue, knowledge, and collaboration that reinforces the Canary Islands’ role as a bridge between Europe and Africa.
