About this Event
The UK and African food economies have much to offer each other. From food production, processing and retail to technology, finance and distribution, businesses on both sides are seeking new markets, customers, suppliers and investment opportunities.
But turning commercial interest into business is not always straightforward. Market regulations, financing, distribution, standards and access to the right partners can determine whether an opportunity succeeds.
The UK–Africa Women in Food & Agribusiness Investment Summit 2027 brings together entrepreneurs, investors, buyers, exporters, policymakers and industry leaders to examine these realities and pursue opportunities for trade, investment and business collaboration.
The Summit recognises the distinct opportunities across African markets and the UK, with particular attention to women's participation, ownership and leadership in the food economy.
