MARKETPLACE AND INNOVATION VILLAGE

The Marketplace, traditionally the gathering point of the NYFA where meetings are booked with participants and exhibitors from private and public sector, will be extended in 2015 to feature a Village of Innovation, building on the success of our inaugural Money Talks session at NYFA 2014, where one inventor secured investment live on stage. A carefully curated selection of African start-ups, each with an invention that has the power to bring about significant change, will be invited to showcase their work to participants in the Marketplace.
