What is IATF2025? – Discover Africa’s Premier Trade Fair

African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), in collaboration with the African Union Commission and AfCFTA Secretariat, brings you the 4th Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2025) to be hosted by People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, in Algiers.

The AfCFTA is expected to boost intra-African trade significantly over the coming years. Increasing intra-Africa trade can foster industrialization, promote value addition, create jobs, and enhance competitiveness on the global stage.

IATF2025 will provide a unique and valuable platform for businesses to access an integrated African market of over 1.4 billion people with a GDP of over US$3.5 trillion created under the African Continental Free Trade Area.

B2B & B2G Matchmaking at IATF2025 – Trade and Government Connections

The platform will provide opportunities for matchmaking, business exchanges, and the conclusion of business and investment deals. This is supported by a dedicated African Buyers Programme which will provide trade facilitation and financing solutions to African buyers.

What is the African Buyers Programme?

The African Buyers Programme is designed to identify and connect qualified buyers with credible suppliers of “made in Africa” products and services, facilitating trade and fostering business exchanges. By offering dedicated support, the programme aims to promote intra-African trade under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), ultimately strengthening economic ties across the continent. The platform will provide opportunities for matchmaking, business exchanges and conclusion of business and investment deals.
