Incubating ideas for Africa

The forum's ambition, after this period of silence imposed by COVID, is to continue to offer participants (experts, speakers, institutions, companies, etc.) the opportunity to exchange ideas in a different, modern setting, as required by the times.

To provide decision-makers with possible responses to the new security challenges facing our continent.

The Center’s philosophy is to contribute to collective reflection by offering an original forum for meeting and sharing ideas, concepts and/or positions. This is done in full respect of values recognized by the international community, and under the control of rigorous ethical rules.

“

As Chairman of the Africa Security Forum, it is with great honor and deep gratitude that I welcome you to our 2023 Edition. Our forum is the open activity of Think Tank Atlantis, and our mission is to serve as an incubator for ideas and the sharing of expertise between players on the African continent.
