We will explore how for- and non-profit models face incredible opportunities and challenges as they scale across borders on the continent.

African agriculture is at once an immense challenge and opportunity.

Come join Africa’s foremost agri investors, agtech entrepreneurs, and downstream and upstream operators as they outline how to realize the sector’s potential via better business models, talent and investment.
