About intra African Trade Fair (iatf2021)
The second intra African Trade Fair (IATF 2021), organized by afreximbank in cooperation with the African Union (AU) and the Secretariat of the African continental free trade area (afcfta), was held in Durban from November 15 to 21, 2021.
IATF 2021 provides a platform for promoting trade under afcfta. It brings together buyers and sellers on the African continent and globally, enabling stakeholders to share trade, investment and market information, as well as trade financing and trade facilitation solutions aimed at supporting intra African Trade and economic integration on the continent. In addition to establishing business to business and business to government exchange platforms for business transactions and consulting services, iatf2021 also operates iatf2021 virtual, an interactive online platform for replicating physical events. Iatf2021 also focuses on the creative economy and the automotive industry in Africa through special programs.
