Welcome to ACAT 2027
Welcome to the third edition of the African Conference on Agricultural Technologies (ACAT 2027) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Since its launch in 2023, ACAT has grown into a leading platform for advancing dialogue, partnerships, and action around science, technology, and innovation in African agriculture. The conference continues to bring together policymakers, researchers, farmers, private sector leaders, investors, and development partners to identify practical solutions that can transform food systems and improve livelihoods. As we gather once again, I invite you to join us in shaping the future of African agriculture through collaboration, innovation, and shared commitment. We look forward to welcoming you to Addis Ababa.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to ACAT 2027. Africa possesses immense agricultural potential, yet millions of farmers continue to face challenges that limit productivity, profitability, and resilience. Addressing these challenges requires stronger partnerships among governments, researchers, the private sector, and development partners, alongside sustained support for innovation and technology adoption. I encourage all participants to use this platform to exchange ideas, build meaningful collaborations, and champion solutions that will help secure a prosperous agricultural future for our continent. The decisions, partnerships, and commitments forged here can help shape a more food-secure, resilient, and prosperous Africa.
The Government and people of Ethiopia are honored to welcome you to Addis Ababa for ACAT 2027. Ethiopia recognizes the critical role of science, technology, and innovation in driving agricultural growth, strengthening resilience, and creating opportunities for farmers and agribusinesses. As a country committed to agricultural transformation, we are pleased to host a forum that brings together diverse stakeholders from across Africa and beyond to share knowledge, experiences, and solutions. We look forward to productive engagements and to showcasing Ethiopia's rich agricultural heritage, innovation journey, and warm hospitality. Welcome to Ethiopia. እንኳን በደህና መጡ!
