The Canada–Africa Chamber of Business (https://CanadaAfrica.ca) is pleased to announce its official visit to Hamilton last week, underscoring the city's growing role as a hub for trade, investment, and international partnerships.
The visit formed part of the 3-day Africa Accelerating 2025 program (https://apo-opa.co/48gTxdK), which brought together business leaders, government officials, and stakeholders from both Canada and African markets to explore opportunities in a host of sectors. Delegates from South Africa, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, and Kenya were among those who joined the High-Level Visit to the City of Hamilton, reflecting the diverse and growing interest in partnerships with Hamilton and the broader Canadian economy.
As part of the program, delegates toured various Canadian firms, as well as Trident Engineering Institute and Nexim Healthcare Consultants — two companies operating under the leadership of Henry Lukenge, who has expanded his presence into Hamilton as a leading entrepreneur from the African continent.
“Hamilton offers many benefits versus other cities, some of which include - but not limited to - a diverse highly skilled and vibrant workforce, an affordable real estate market and many incentives to help with your investment decision-making”, said Henry Lukenge, during a tour of the Trident campus in Hamilton.
“Therefore, as an investor and business owner, I am delighted to have chosen Hamilton and privileged to welcome fellow Africans and indeed all investors, seeking to expand to Canada through this wonderful city.”
“Hamilton is proud to welcome the Canada–Africa Chamber of Business,” said Norm Schleehahn, Director Economic Development for the City of Hamilton. “Our city has transformed into a leading destination for global investment, built on our strengths in manufacturing, logistics, life sciences, and a vibrant innovation ecosystem. This visit is an important opportunity to showcase how Hamilton is open for business and ready to grow international partnerships.”
“The Chamber's engagement in Hamilton reflects our mission of fostering stronger commercial ties between Canada and African markets,” said Garreth Bloor, President of The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business. “By spotlighting Hamilton as a destination for investment, the Chamber is committed to building bridges that create opportunities and highlight economic growth. Thank you to Henry Lukenge for his sponsorship of our organization that helped make this program possible.”
“This collaboration highlights Hamilton's global outlook,” added Mr. Schleehahn. “We look forward to deepening our ties with African markets and leveraging the Canada–Africa Chamber's leadership in creating meaningful business connections.”
The visit to Hamilton forms part of the Chamber's Canada-wide programming to advance trade and investment opportunities, ahead of the upcoming Canada–Africa Business Conferences on the African continent, including in Zambia and Namibia.

South Africa's Rand Refinery – the world's largest integrated precious metals refining and smelting complex – has joined the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) as an Associate Sponsor. The company's participation underscores its commitment to fostering partnerships with global mining stakeholders to advance Africa's local beneficiation agenda, in line with the event's theme From Extraction to Beneficiation: Unlocking Africa's Mineral Wealth.
AMW serves as a premier platform for exploring the full spectrum of mining opportunities across Africa. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025 conference from October 1-3 in Cape Town. Sponsors, exhibitors and delegates can learn more by contacting sales@energycapitalpower.com.
AMW 2025 will connect Africa's leading gold-producing nations and companies – including Ghana, Mali, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Egypt, Nigeria, Uganda and B2Gold – with downstream players like Rand Refinery to unlock the full potential of Africa's gold sector.
Rand Refinery continues to reinforce Africa's role as a global gold powerhouse, having refined approximately one-third of the world's mined gold to date. The company has a crucial role to play as African-gold rich countries seek to maximize gold production and monetization of value-added products for GDP growth. Rand Refinery is advancing the sustainability of gold processing, deploying a 4.5 MW solar PV system to meet its peak power demand, reducing its annual carbon footprint by 8.500 tons. The firm is also spearheading Africa's responsible gold monetization agenda through innovative traceability and transparency solutions such as RandTrack and the Gold Bar Integrity platform, while aligning with international standards including the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible gold sourcing. The company is also the only refinery in Africa certified by the London Bullion Market Association for good delivery practices.
AMW 2025 provides an ideal platform for Rand Refinery to showcase its industry milestones and investment strategy. AMW will feature high-level panel discussions and exclusive networking sessions, providing an ideal platform for Rand Refinery to engage with African public and private sector leaders, as well as global investors, to shape the future of Africa's gold industry.
