Good Partners at FINAS 2025: Championing the Future of Sustainable Agri-Financing in Africa

Nairobi, Kenya — May 20–22, 2025

Good Partners proudly took center stage at the Financing Agri-Food Systems Sustainably (FINAS) 2025 Summit, held at the prestigious Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC). Bringing together a cross-section of African and global thought leaders, the event was anchored on the powerful theme: "Taking Ownership: Rethinking Sustainable Financing for Africa’s Food Systems." The Summit served as a catalytic platform for reimagining how financial innovation, digital technology, and inclusive policies can bridge the agricultural financing gap across the continent. Good Partners, through our AI-powered solution AgriScanAI, was honored to be a key contributor in this transformative dialogue.
