Invest in Africa Summit 2022 | Strategia Business School | 30 June 2022 | Royal Tropical Institute, Mauritskade 63, 1092 AD Amsterdam, Netherlands

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. We expect over 100 investors to participate in the conference. The conference has special focus on the needs of SMEs who are often forgotten in International conferences targeting Africa.

The Objectives of the conference are:
• To promote and facilitate international trade between Africa and Europe
• To facilitate Direct Investments into Africa
• To connect foreign companies with competent authorities, and businesses from Africa
• To facilitate SMEs and Start-ups to find an alternative financing solution that local banks do not offer

The 2-days event will provide a unique platform to gain strategic knowledge about African investment opportunities and business networking. The convention will discuss economic opportunities such as manufacturing and infrastructural development, Agribusiness, Renewable Energy, Real Estate, transportation, Digital Technology , Tourism, Financing Start Ups and Micro Finance, Women in Business, Healthcare, Telecommunications and Fintech.

High-potential projects in Africa will be presented to investors. Featured agenda items will include projects showcase, capacity building workshops, exhibition and country presentations among others.

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