Monday 01 April 2024 - 13:24

With a resolute commitment to fostering economic growth and investment opportunities across Africa, Attijariwafa Bank is set to host the 2024 edition of the International Africa Development Forum (FIAD24) in Casablanca on June 27th and 28th, under the theme "Here, we invest."

Expected to draw over 2,000 business leaders and policymakers from 30 countries across the continent and partner nations, FIAD24 promises a comprehensive platform for structured networking, high-level discussions on development and investment challenges in Africa, and an investment marketplace.

Building on the success of six previous editions held in Casablanca since 2010, FIAD has emerged as the premier platform for African private sector engagement, facilitating exchanges, investments, and intra-African cooperation.

The Club Afrique Développement, in collaboration with the AL MADA pan-African fund, has been instrumental in bolstering intra-continental business corridors through 37 multisectoral missions across 10 countries. To date, the "Africa Development" initiative has engaged nearly 21,000 participants, including business leaders and government officials from 40 countries.

This concerted effort has resulted in over 25,500 structured business meetings spanning key sectors such as agro-industry, infrastructure and construction, telecommunications, healthcare industries, and energy, among others.

With FIAD24 poised to build on this momentum, Attijariwafa Bank reaffirms its unwavering dedication to driving economic progress and sustainable development across Africa, solidifying its position as a catalyst for investment and collaboration on the continent.
