The 5th Africa Investment Forum (AIF) opened on Wednesday in Rabat, bringing together key stakeholders to facilitate the financing and implementation of high-impact projects across the continent. The King’s Advisor and Honorary President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Omar Kabbaj, Morocco’s Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah, and the AfDB President, Akinwumi Adesina all attended the opening ceremony.
The 2024 AIF, held under the theme “Leveraging Innovative Partnerships for Scale,” is considered a leading platform for strategic investments that support Africa’s economic transformation and provide direct access to transaction opportunities across the continent.
Since its launch in 2018, the AIF has attracted nearly $180 billion in investment interest for large-scale projects in energy, infrastructure, health, and agriculture. The Africa Investment Forum Market Days serves as a key space to showcase, discuss, and advance investment opportunities across Africa.
Running until December 6, the three-day forum offers a unique opportunity to connect with a wide network of decision-makers, investors, and project developers shaping Africa’s investment landscape.
The event features exclusive networking, access to bankable projects in various sectors, presentations of key initiatives such as “Women as Investment Champions” and “Sports as a Business Catalyst,” as well as real-time negotiation sessions and expert panels on trends and challenges in African investments.
