DATE: NOVEMBER 29, 2024
LOCATION: NAIROBI, KENYA
Welcome to The Biggest Event of the Year!!
The Africa Food & Packaging Awards celebrate the people and companies, new product innovations and sustainability initiatives in Africa’s food and packaging industry.
The Awards Ceremony & Gala Dinner are attended by Founders, Investors, CEOs, Managers and Professionals in Africa’s food and packaging industry value chains.
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.
From the 2024 edition of the Awards, the organisers are adding new categories focused on packaging, to highlight the tremendous growth in investments and innovations in the sector across Africa.
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.
