The forum, hosted by Michael R. Bloomberg along with Honorary Chair Dr Henry A. Kissinger and Chair Henry M. Paulson Junior, will convene 400 of the world’s most influential business executives, heads of state, innovators, and academics from November 16-19 2021 in Singapore.

Farmerline is a rapidly growing Ghanaian company, which aims to create lasting wealth for African farmers through the provision of services, including access to quality inputs, training, and markets.
Attah co-founded Farmerline with Emmanuel Addai in 2013 serving 800 farmers across Ghana.
