The Africa Finance & Investment Forum (AFIF) is one of the most pragmatic annual meeting for African SMEs, investors, financiers, market specialists and policy makers.

The forum provides a 360° experience, which includes an exclusive training for entrepreneurs, a participant catalogue, a unique B2B service (for all participants, speakers and partners) and an Entrepreneurship Award to celebrate excellence.

The Africa Finance & Investment Forum (AFIF), is an annual business platform initiated by EMRC in 2005 that aims to encourage entrepreneurship, promote the growth of SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and attract the right investments to Africa.

To encourage SME growth in Africa, AFIF offers an interactive platform for the entrepreneurs making a difference, for the financiers already investing in Africa, as well as for the larger financial institutions and enterprises interested in accessing this growing market segment.

This year’s edition of AFIF will focus on entrepreneurship and innovation with an emphasise on access to finance in key sectors: energy, water, ICT, health, agriculture and agro-industry. A special attention will be paid to the role that Africa can have in embracing the 4th industrial revolution.
