The Africa Investment Forum market Days attract a wide range of stakeholders: sports businessmen, heads of state ang government, CEOs, sovereign wealth funds.
At the 2022 event in Abidjan, Tadesse said that before AIF's inception in 2018,"we were almost at a level of paralysis by analysis" in terms of talk about Africa's investment needs and challenges.
He expressed hope the 2023 edition would provide more opportunities for interaction with younger entrepreneurs,"with Africa, with Japan and other countries."that a new company, &Capital Inc., was formed in January 2023 to promote Japanese investments in Africa. Keizai Doyukai is a private, non-profit and nonpartisan organization that brings together nearly 1,400 top executives of some 1,000 Japanese corporations.
In addition to prioritising three key focus sectors--renewable energy, agribusiness, and manufacturing--the Africa Investment Forum Market Days boardrooms will feature deals from other sectors, including"disrupters" such as artificial intelligence and the internet of things, women as investment champions; and the creative and sports industries.
The continent has many characteristics of a powerhouse sports market. Its athletes are world famous across football, basketball, and track-and-field competition. And a growing and increasingly middle-class population offers a potential untapped audience for domestic sport leagues. The Africa Investment Forum's Sports as a Business Catalyst initiative is working to make this a reality.
