INVESTMENT DISCOVERY SESSIONS

Once again the African Agri Council is proud to present the Investment Discovery Sessions (IDS).
The IDS project pitches and face-to-face meetings focus on investment in the most innovative and
competitive projects or businesses in African agriculture. The IDS are developed for accredited
investors and financial institutions seeking investment opportunities across the agri value chain as
well as agri executives and entrepreneurs searching for capital for their businesses. The IDS are the
