Intra-African Trade Fair 2025 (IATF2025), Africa’s premier trade and investment forum, is excited to announce Dangote Group as an official Premier Partner. As one of Africa’s leading industrial conglomerates, with over 18 subsidiaries operating across a wide spectrum of sectors critical to the continent’s economic transformation – including cement, fertilisers, petrochemicals, refined petroleum products, sugar, salt, and logistics, Dangote Group will be a key partner for IATF at its fourth edition to be held in Algiers, Algeria from 4-10 September 2025.
The biennial IATF, hosted by the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria and organised by Afreximbank in partnership with African Union Commission and African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, aims to increase intra-African trade and showcase the investment opportunities across Africa.
The fourth edition will feature a wide participation of production and service companies, alongside an investment and trade forum highlighting Africa’s potential for economic integration. During the week-long fair, more than 2,000 exhibitors, including businesses from the African continent and globally, will showcase their goods and services to visitors and buyers while exploring opportunities and exchanging trade and market information. This is projected to translate into over US$44 billion in trade and investment deals.
Mrs. Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development, Afreximbank said: “We are delighted to welcome Dangote Group as an Official Premier Partner of IATF2025.
