Theme: Reshaping Agribusiness Models for Building Prosperous Rural Communities In response to the challenges currently facing the world and developing countries in particular, this event offers a unique opportunity to discuss critical matters affecting the agricultural and food systems and the consequences to wide economies. The platform also allows to propose solutions to the key challenges and to emphasize the sense of urgency. Of particular importance, youth-led innovative solutions will be showcased and we expect participants to pledge support to those innovations. Organisers: Organised by the Africa Organization of Technology in Agriculture (AOTA) and the University of Rwanda, IBMA 2024 is supported by the Rwanda's Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources (MINAGRI) and by the Rwanda Convention Bureau (RCB), among other partners. This prestigious event is scheduled to be held at the esteemed Kigali Convention Centre from March 25th to 28th, 2024. The conference will unite a diverse assembly of more than 600 participants, including prominent government officials, respected academic experts in business and agriculture, leading Agritech enterprises, innovative researchers, NGOs committed to change in the agriculture sector, dedicated farmers and farmer's leaders, forward-thinking investors, dynamic entrepreneurs, and ambitious startups. IBMA 2024 offers a unique opportunity to actively contribute to a transformational shift that redirects the trajectory of struggling economies towards organised and prosperous agricultural communities. Through collaboration, innovation, and shared commitment, we aim to rewrite the narrative of poverty into one of empowerment and self-sufficiency in agriculture. Join us at IBMA 2024 as we collectively usher in a new era of change -- from a solitary struggle to organised - prosperous agricultural rural communities. See you in Kigali.
