Becoming a Strategic Partner of the Agribusiness Dealroom

Why partnering with the Dealroom is beneficial?

As a Strategic Partner, the Dealroom offers the opportunity to optimize the delivery of your inclusive Agri-investments programs, whilst creating synergies with more than a dozen partners. Partners will work with you regionally and on a country level to drive more investments.

The Dealroom also offers the ability to showcase progress, gain insights into market developments, share learnings and have access to a strong pipeline of investment opportunities. Furthermore, the Dealroom also offers the opportunity to engage with key senior public leaders on critical interventions that will improve successful transaction rates in their countries

As a Dealroom strategic partner, you will help to shape and deliver the shared agribusiness Dealroom’s agenda and programs throughout the year. Each partner will be allowed to delegate two senior executives to participate in all Dealroom events, both year-round and during the AGRF. Dealroom partners will also benefit from the overall Dealroom brand positioning and visibility.

Partnering with the Agribusiness Dealroom is available to institutions and companies with an institutional mandate to drive Agri-investments in Africa. Partners are expected to make a minimal contribution of US$ 50,000 to the design and delivery of the Dealroom at the AGRF. A select number of technical partners can be invited to commit to an in-kind contribution of equal value (i.e. technical assistance, services or knowledge products on a regional level). Partners and sponsors of the AGRF are automatically invited to partner in the Dealroom.
