ABOUT THE AWARDS
The Africa Food Awards celebrate the people, new product innovations, sustainability initiatives and leading companies in Africa’s food industry.
The Awards have become sub-Saharan Africa’s most respected food industry Awards process and ceremony – since the first edition in 2017.
The Awards have been hosted in Nairobi every year except in 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic disruptions led to a pause in the celebrations.
The Awards are mainly focused on celebrating individual and team excellence and achievements by start-ups, big corporates and multinationals operating in Africa – as the region becomes the next growth and investments frontier.
Join industry leaders, investors, managers and professionals from Africa and the World at the region’s most-respected Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner, as we review the year and celebrate the industry’s leading companies, innovations, achievements and impact on the community.
