IAEOZ Summit 2024 Africa

The Innovation in Agriculture & Energy Opportunity Zone (IAEOZ) Summit, a dynamic annual series dedicated to addressing challenges in rural communities, is set to make its debut in South Africa. This expansion represents a ground-breaking opportunity for American minority businesses to connect with African innovators, fostering partnerships, trade, and participation in projects across the agriculture and energy sectors.

Since its inception as a virtual event in 2020, the IAEOZ Summits have grown into a powerful platform for sparking solutions through investment in Smart Farming technologies, promoting food security, and driving sustainability. By partnering with universities, businesses, and government agencies, these summits have become a catalyst for innovation and collaboration.

The Cape Town summit will facilitate partnerships, trade, and participation in African projects for US minority companies, specifically in the agriculture and energy sectors. This unique event will provide a platform for American and South African businesses to network, unlock new opportunities, and explore funding options such as grants and government contracts targeted at innovation and rural development.
