Fostering synergies in the African textile & Leather industry

WHY TALIF?

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) stands as a monumental opportunity for the continent to harness its economic potential, and the textile, apparel, and leather industry emerges as a crucial sector poised for transformation. TALIF (Textile, Apparel & Leather Investment Forum), organized by ACHIEVAZ Ltd, serves as a cornerstone in this endeavor, providing a dynamic platform for fostering collaboration and partnerships across borders. Endorsed by the Rwanda Ministry of Trade and Industry (MINICOM) in 2019, TALIF has swiftly grown into Africa’s premier sector-specific investment forum, facilitating networking and the formation of sustainable alliances.

As the 3rd edition of TALIF approaches in Kampala, Uganda, the imperative to forge synergies within the African textile and leather industry becomes even more pronounced.

Through TALIF, stakeholders can explore avenues for cooperation, leveraging collective strengths to drive innovation, enhance competitiveness, and spur economic growth across the continent.

By promoting collaboration and partnership building, TALIF underscores the significance of collective action in realizing the objectives of AfCFTA.
