Algeria is set to host the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) 2025, promising the most ambitious edition yet. Scheduled for September 14, 2025, the fair aims to further solidify Africa's position as a key driver of future global growth and unlock the continent's immense potential for intra-continental trade.The IATF is a crucial platform for promoting trade and investment within Africa, connecting businesses from across the continent and fostering economic integration. The 2025 edition, hosted in Algeria, signifies a significant step forward in achieving the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
Algeria’s selection as the host nation underscores its growing economic importance and commitment to pan-African cooperation. Recent data confirms Algeria as the third largest economy on the continent, a testament to its robust economic development and strategic investments. This positions Algeria perfectly to facilitate trade and investment flows across the African continent.
The IATF 2025 is expected to attract thousands of exhibitors and visitors from across Africa and beyond, representing a diverse range of sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, technology, finance, and energy. The event will provide a unique opportunity for businesses to showcase their products and services, network with potential partners, and explore new market opportunities.
Beyond the exhibition, the IATF 2025 will feature a comprehensive program of conferences, workshops, and business-to-business matchmaking sessions. These events will address key challenges and opportunities facing African businesses, promote innovation and entrepreneurship, and facilitate the development of sustainable trade relationships.
The focus of the IATF 2025 will be on driving the implementation of the AfCFTA, which aims to create a single market for goods and services across the continent. By reducing trade barriers and promoting intra-African trade, the AfCFTA has the potential to significantly boost economic growth, create jobs, and improve the living standards of millions of Africans.
The Algerian government is committed to ensuring the success of the IATF 2025 and is working closely with the African Union and other stakeholders to deliver a world-class event. The fair is expected to generate significant economic benefits for Algeria and the wider African continent, contributing to sustainable development and regional integration.
With its strategic location, robust economy, and commitment to pan-Africanism, Algeria is well-positioned to host a truly transformative IATF 2025. The event promises to be a catalyst for increased intra-African trade, investment, and economic growth, solidifying Africa’s role as a major player in the global economy.
