The International Africa Development Forum 2024 (FIAD24), organized by Attijariwafa bank group under the impulse of Al Mada group, will be held on June 27 and 28 in Casablanca.
With the key theme "Here, We Invest", this major event will welcome over 2,000 business leaders and political decision-makers from 30 African countries and partner nations.
FIAD24 promises a series of structured meetings among participants, a high-level conference on the challenges of development and investment in Africa, as well as a market dedicated to investment. Since its inception in 2010, FIAD has established itself as a platform for dialogue in the African private sector, fostering exchanges, investments, and intra-African cooperation.
The Africa Development Club has also strengthened intra-continental commercial ties through the organization of 37 multisectoral missions in 10 countries, bringing together nearly 21,000 participants, business leaders, and governmental leaders from 40 countries. These initiatives have led to more than 25,500 structured business meetings, stimulating key sectors such as agro-industry, infrastructure and construction, telecommunications, healthcare industries, and energy, among others.
Over the years, FIAD has distinguished itself by its ability to gather a diverse array of key players from the African and international economy, catalyzing significant business opportunities and fostering constructive dialogue on the economic challenges of the continent.
FIAD has seen a constant increase in terms of participation, geographical representativeness, and finalized transactions, reflecting the growing appeal of the African market. Previous editions have highlighted inspiring success stories, strategic partnerships formed, and substantial financial commitments, underscoring Africa's potential as a favored investment destination.
The upcoming FIAD24 edition, building on this positive momentum, aims to exceed expectations by offering even more networking opportunities, exchanges of expertise, and deal-making. The focus will be on innovative sectors and novel approaches to overcome the continent's challenges, thus aligning sustainable development goals with investment strategies.
The ongoing commitment of the Attijariwafa bank group and Al Mada group in organizing this event illustrates their belief in Africa's potential and their desire to play a central role in accelerating its economic development. Through FIAD24, Casablanca once again confirms its status as the capital of African investment, serving as a bridge between different regions of the continent and offering a leading platform to shape Africa's economic future.
