Sovereign Wealth Fund highlights the importance of food security in Africa at the 5th Business & Connectivity Forum

25 September 2025

The Angola Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSDEA) will participate on 26 and 27 September in the 5th Business & Connectivity Forum, to be held in Uíge Province under the theme 'Angola 5.0 – Development Strategies and Sustainable Vision'.

At the Forum, FSDEA will address the topic 'Food Security as a Pillar of Africa’s Economic Sovereignty', underscoring that agriculture is among Angola’s national priorities and constitutes one of the core pillars of the Fund’s alternative investment strategy.

Within its strategy, FSDEA highlights its commitment to supporting high-impact sectors such as animal protein production (poultry and swine) and crop production (avocado, sugarcane and other cash crops), which are capable of generating jobs, reducing external dependency, and strengthening national productive capacity.

By placing this agenda at the centre of the Forum, the Fund reaffirms its role as a long-term strategic partner, promoting projects that contribute to economic diversification and sustainability, in line with the development objectives of Angola and Africa.
