In a continent where maize feeds millions and sustains livelihoods, innovation and collaboration are becoming as essential as rainfall. From 20 to 24 October, the Agri-Business Facility for Africa (ABF) Maize Workshop brought together 26 agripreneurs from 14 African countries at Nairobi’s International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). Over five days, participants shared experiences, explored innovative solutions, and established cross-border collaborations. By the end of the workshop, participants had forged 25 new partnerships targeting areas such as carbon credits, recycling and waste management, aflatoxin testing, cross-border marketing, and technology transfer. These alliances underscore a growing commitment to innovation, sustainability, and climate resilience in Africa’s maize sector.
