Grow Africa supports a schedule of events at which countries and investors can connect, share best practice, and promote investment. Our key milestone is an annual Grow Africa Investment Forum that preludes the WEF Africa Summit, and aims catalyze new partnerships, investment commitments, and insights for countries supported by Grow Africa and potential partners. In addition we support countries hosting their own investment forums, and link to related events that offer useful platforms for advancing agricultural investment.
