AIF is a flagship initiative of the African Development Bank in concert with its founding development finance partners. Its mission is to create a pipeline of bankable deals to present in critical sectors across African markets and accelerate the process of ongoing projects. At the 2019 Forum, AIF featured fifty-seven Boardroom deals valued at USD $67.7 billion and succeeded in crowding-in investment interests across fifty-two deals worth USD $40.1 billion from twenty-five countries. Join us for a conversation with leading investors and seasoned entrepreneurs in digital infrastructure development, and for a presentation of two current AIF investment opportunities. This will be the final roundtable of a longer series of sector-specific investment conversations hosted by the Atlantic Council in partnership with AIF.
