Rabat: Africa Investment Forum Market Days 2024
The Africa Investment Forum will hold its Market Days 2024 from December 4 to 6 in Rabat, Morocco.
The event will bring together investors, transaction promoters, government leaders, and development finance institutions to advance towards the conclusion of investment-ready transactions.
The 2024 Market Days will showcase transactions across various sectors from the investment project portfolios of the Africa Investment Forum’s partners: the African Development Bank, Africa50, Africa Finance Corporation, Afreximbank, Development Bank of Southern Africa, European Investment Bank, Islamic Development Bank, and the Trade and Development Bank.
The Africa Investment Forum is a multi-stakeholder and multidisciplinary platform that advances projects to bankability, raises capital, and accelerates transactions to financial close. Its vision is to channel capital into critical sectors to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the African Development Bank’s “High 5s,” and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
Since its first edition in 2018, the Africa Investment Forum has mobilized nearly $183 billion in investment interest. Its centerpiece is the annual three-day Market Days event, which brings together thousands of international investors, leaders of development finance institutions, business executives, and government officials to advance crucial investment transactions to closure.
