The Intra-African Trade Fair 2025 (IATF2025), Africa’s flagship trade and investment platform, has announced Tropical General Investment Group (TGI) as an Official Premier Partner.
The multinational conglomerate, which has operations across more than 13 countries, will play a key role in advancing the Fair’s mission of boosting trade and investment across Africa. The event will be held in Algiers, Algeria, from 4 to 10 September 2025, organised by Afreximbank in collaboration with the African Union Commission and the AfCFTA Secretariat.
Over 2,000 exhibitors are expected to participate, with projected trade and investment deals valued at more than US$44 billion. Since its launch in 2018, the Fair has facilitated over US$118 billion in deals and attracted more than 140,000 participants globally.
Mrs Kanayo Awani, Executive Vice President, Intra-African Trade and Export Development, Afreximbank, said: “We are delighted to welcome TGI Group as an Official Premier Partner for IATF2025. Industrial manufacturing and agribusiness are focal areas of the event, and with TGI being an important player within the investment ecosystem in Africa, they are uniquely positioned to help us achieve our shared goal of driving intra-African trade and promoting sustainable economic growth across the continent.”
TGI, which began in Lagos in the early 1980s, has grown into a diversified conglomerate with interests spanning fast-moving consumer goods, agricultural inputs, chemicals, homecare, and pharmaceuticals.
Vice Chairman of TGI Group, Farouk Gumel, said: “TGI’s ethos is all about creating value and enhancing wellbeing. To achieve this, we consistently seek new opportunities and partnerships from within and outside the continent. The opportunities within Africa are limitless. IATF gives us the platform to identify and pursue these new ideas, resources and partnerships. We commend Afreximbank’s vision for creating and sustaining the IATF and are indeed very excited to collaborate with them as a premier partner for IATF2025.”
