Food, Finance, and the Future: Investing in Africa’s Agricultural Value Chain for Global Food Security (Invite only)

-
REQUEST INVITE

This session will convene a select group of investors, sovereign wealth funds, and senior African leaders for a high-level dialogue on opportunities related to investing in Africa’s agriculture and food systems. The conversation will focus on investments and models that deliver strong commercial returns while also driving social impact—advancing food security, job creation, and climate adaptation across the African continent. Through specific examples of successful partnerships and investments, participants will explore how impact funds, large corporates, and family offices (among other players) can partner with African governments, investors, and startups to scale agribusiness and improve Africa’s agricultural value chain, while strengthening regional supply chains and advancing mutually beneficial food security objectives.
