UK will host 2021 UK-Africa Investment Conference

The UK Department for International Trade is set to virtually host the 2021 UK-Africa Investment Conference today.

The event links British and African businesses in hopes of creating future investment opportunities in sustainable infrastructure, agriculture and green technology.

Last year’s  conference announced over $8 billion worth of trade and investment deals. This year’s meeting follows December’s breakthrough deal between the UK and EU.

The UK has drawn up trade deals with 13 African nations post-Brexit, but the new bilateral agreements differ little from previous EU-Africa deals.
