OUR MISSION

---

The Canada-Africa International Investors Summit is an annual business summit organized FAAVM Africa to attract domestic and foreign investment for international development. Based on the theme– Africa’s Growth and Prosperity, and aimed at bringing together business leaders, investors, corporations, policy, and opinion makers; international governments, and private investors, the summit serves as a perfect platform to understand and explore business opportunities for the African region.

The Canada-Africa International Investors Summit also works with other countries in the region, and where challenges benefit from regional approaches, we work with continental institutions such as the African Union and the African Development Bank, La Francophonie, African Union as well as regional economic communities. In 2018, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows to Africa defied the global downward trend and rose to $46 billion, an 11 per cent increase after successive declines in 2016 and 2017.  Africa is a resource-rich continent. Recent growth has been due to growth in sales in commodities, services, and manufacturing. West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa in particular, are expected to reach a combined GDP of $29 trillion by 2050.
