of facilitating sustainable business transformation in the region. AMBITIOUS GOALS, NEW AREAS OF GROWTH As we head towards 2024, we are happy to share with our readers, partners and other stakeholders our commitment to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation, as we seek to expand our influence beyond the food industry that we have served diligently since 2013, when we debuted our Food Business Africa magazine Ten years on, we have since expanded our magazines and websites, publishing six titles, with two others in the pipeline. In the events realm, we have moved beyond the food industry, venturing into the

healthcare, agriculture and general leadership and entrepreneurship space As we transition into a broader publisher of magazines and events organizing business, we have also recently boosted our new business line – dubbed FW Africa StoryLabs – which is involved in documentaries production, websites development, social media planning and execution, PR and marketing communications, videography and photography and many other ways to help you make your brand shine!! We welcome you on this new journey!! Francis Juma Founder & CEO FW Africa
