During the Africa Investment Forum 2024 Market Days, African Development Bank (AfDB) President Dr. Akinwumi Adesina highlighted the transformative potential of Africa's agricultural and energy sectors, emphasizing the crucial role of Japanese technology in driving innovation and investment. Dr. Adesina pointed out that Africa possesses 65% of the world's arable land, offering vast opportunities for agriculture. He showcased how digital solutions and new business models are revolutionizing the agricultural landscape, with examples like Space Shift Inc.'s satellite technology for crop monitoring and VunaPay's digital platform for instant payments to farmers. The forum also explored the convergence of green energy and agriculture, with companies like Green Carbon Inc. and Hitachi Energy presenting innovative approaches to reduce emissions and provide clean energy access. Strategic partnerships, highlighted by collaborations between AfDB and Japanese institutions like JICA and Mitsubishi, aim to foster sustainable development and drive investments in African agriculture. The forum underscored the urgency of translating interest into action to harness the opportunities Africa presents. Japanese businesses were urged to invest decisively, recognizing the potential for missed opportunities. Japan's ongoing commitment to African development, as evidenced by mechanisms like the EPSA, was reaffirmed, with a focus on supporting sustainable growth in agriculture and green sectors. The event set the stage for future cooperation, with TICAD 9 in 2025 poised to deepen Japan-Africa relations and drive continued investment in Africa's green transformation.
