CEO of the FII Institute, Richard Attias, said, "We are so proud of the FII conference this year. We had a record number of investment deals signed, and we hosted speakers and delegates from all over the world who were keen to build new partnerships. Under this year's theme - Investing in Humanity: Enabling a New Global Order - we sought to address the challenges confronting global leaders at this epoch-defining moment as we rebuild from the pandemic and confront challenges both old and intractable, and new and unpredictable. We look forward to welcoming our community next year at FII from 24-26 October 2023, which will be accessible only to FII members." The final day of the three-day conference featured a summit titled 'An African Future' where ministers, investors, and entrepreneurs from across Africa and beyond came together to discuss areas of investment in the region. The summit focused on the investment potential in Africa noting that tech-startups in the region received investments totaling $1 million every hour last year. Discussions ended with agreement that the level of investment in Africa is set to grow and it would require improved infrastructure and policy to support its development.
