- The seminars are a series of African-focused online discussions that highlight some of the opportunities, challenges and trends in the Continent’s food manufacturing, retail and hospitality industries.
- By utilising online platforms to reach its audience within Africa and beyond, the platforms shape the future of the food industry and its associated value chains – giving opportunities for key stakeholders to contribute in defining this future in a more informed manner.
- The Virtual Seminars are addressed by leading private sector managers and investors; Government officials, academicians, consultants and other key knowledge persons from within Africa and internationally.
- They are a continuation of our African-industry focused AFMASS Food Expo and other conferences and exhibitions that have been taking place across Africa since 2015. Since 2015, more than 20,000 visitors and delegates have attended AFMASS Food Expos in Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania, with plans to host the events in more African countries in future, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Ghana. The events have become sub-Saharan Africa’s most important food industry events.
These Virtual Seminars, a first in the Continent, are key to unlocking the opportunities in Africa, while utilising the powerful advantages of the Internet – hence enabling the attendance of thousands of people from within and beyond Africa – breaking barriers of distance and time, which are a key hindrance to knowledge transfer in Africa.
