Preparations for the upcoming fifth edition of the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2027) are gaining momentum following the successful signing of the Host Country Agreement between Afreximbank, African Union Commission, AfCFTA Secreteriat and the Federal Government of Nigeria.

IATF2027 is scheduled to take place in Lagos, Nigeria, from 5–11 November 2027. It will bring together businesses, investors, governments, buyers, development finance institutions, entrepreneurs and policymakers from across Africa and the world.

As momentum builds, exhibition stands and meeting rooms are now officially open for booking. Organisations looking to expand into new markets, connect with buyers and investors, strengthen their brand presence and unlock commercial opportunities across Africa are encouraged to secure their participation early.
