The Africa Finance & Investment Forum 2009 was hosted at the ABN AMRO Bank Headquarters, Amsterdam, in partnership with the Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO). The 3-day forum included plenary sessions and workshops. A wide range of topics on African investment were discussed, including boosting African economies through entrepreneurships, the role of commercial banks in the development of private initiatives, and the role of International Financial Institutions (IFIs). Day II’s proceedings were rounded off with the Gala Evening during which Mr. Derek Kwesiga, founder and CEO of Derekorp in Uganda, was selected as the winner of the USD15 000 EMRC-AfDB Project Incubator Award. Day III was dedicated to a series of workshops and discussion panels on crucial matters affecting the African investment climate.
AFIF09 was an excellent networking opportunity for entrepreneurs and potential investors in Africa, with the business-to-business meetings that took place thanks to the International Trade Centre’s assistance.
