Africa Trade and Investment Convention

Africa, as the fastest growing economy in the world, puts up the biggest African trade and investment show known as Trade and Investment Convention which normally holds all year round at different locations.

The upcoming edition of "Invest in Africa Summit 2024" will take place at the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT), Amsterdam, Netherlands from the 7th - 9th of October 2024.

Evidence suggests that Africa has now entered a cycle of strong economic growth, and the event is an avenue to unlock digital transformation, investments, and trade opportunities on the continent.

Investors are now positioning themselves to understand the opportunities across the African continent.

Despite the opportunities, securing finance is a big hurdle for local entrepreneurs as well as foreign companies operating in Africa.

Companies that approach banks for investment in Africa are met with doubts and skepticism. All the existing possibilities however need to be explored.

The Objectives of the conference are:

- To facilitate foreign direct investment into Africa

- To promote and facilitate international trade between Africa and Europe, North America, and Asia.

- Provide a platform for businesses to expand into new markets, and

- To build networks and technical capacities for entrepreneurs.

The conference is focused on highlighting Africa’s investment opportunities while creating an opportunity for entrepreneurs, government delegations, and business leaders to meet with investors.

Over 50 speakers will provide detailed insight into the economic transformation that many parts of Africa are currently experiencing.

The 2-days event will provide a unique platform to gain strategic knowledge about African investment opportunities and business networking.

The convention will cover economic sectors such as manufacturing and infrastructure development, agribusiness, renewable energy, transportation, digital technology as well as mining and gas.

High-potential projects in Africa usually meet with international investors at this event to discuss issues relating to the African trade and ways to foster development in the key areas.

Featured agenda items will include projects showcase, capacity building workshops, deal marketplace, exhibition, and country presentations among others.

There will be matchmaking sessions dedicated to making the process of meeting investors easier, country-specific presentations, sector-focused sessions, and evening networking meetings. This will ensure investment deals are concluded during the convention.

Whether you are a start-up or a bigger company looking to invest in Africa, the Africa Trade and Investment Convention is the place to be.

We look forward to seeing you in Amsterdam! Yours Sincerely John Karegwa Project Manager Africa Trade and Investment Convention Changemaker International Betje Wolffstraat 62, Rotterdam, Netherlands.
