Accelerating Impact through Investment and Innovation
The Tanzania Impact Investment Forum 2025 (TIIF 2025) is a two-day event organized by the Embassy of Switzerland in Tanzania.
By uniting investors, high-impact organizations, policymakers, and ecosystem enablers, TIIF 2025 aims to foster collaborative partnerships, catalyse impactful investments, and showcase Tanzania’s potential in driving sustainable innovation.
The forum will take place on April 28 – 29, 2025, at Johari Rotana Hotel, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
The Government of Switzerland has supported bilateral and regional projects in Tanzania since the early 1960s. In 1981, Tanzania became a priority country for official Swiss development assistance. The Swiss Cooperation Programme in Tanzania 2021 - 25 aims to empower young people, especially poor young women, to advance socially and economically through three cross-sectoral outcomes: (i) strengthening state institutions, (ii) promoting civic space and (iii) improving youth livelihoods.
