Kinshasa: Entrepreneurs Consider Economic Reconstruction and Industrialization in the DRC

Nearly 100 Congolese entrepreneurs are attending the third Impact Forum Entrepreneurial in Kinshasa on November 5 and 6, 2026. Focused on entrepreneurship as a driver of economic reconstruction and industrialization, the gathering brings together business leaders, investors and development actors to consider ways to boost growth, employment and innovation amid security challenges in eastern DRC. Forum host Stanislas Zezé argues that entrepreneurs should be central to economic development policies, while board chairman Tony Nalwindjwa highlights their resilience, including that of business operators who left conflict-affected areas to restart activities elsewhere in the country.
