On October 15, 2026, from 16:00 to17:30 the "IM23 - Joint Thematic Session" is a dedicated event held in theRed Room (A-121 INT),during the FAO World Food Forum. It bridges two major pillars: the Hand-in-Hand (HIH) Initiative Investment Forum and the Science & Innovation Forum.

Focus Areas
Converting Data to Actionable Intelligence: The session highlights how artificial intelligence can analyze vast amounts of geospatial and agronomic data to seamlessly match a country's national agricultural priorities with available global financing.
Inclusive & High-Impact Investments: A major goal is identifying and scaling AI-driven mechanisms that explicitly benefit vulnerable demographics, including smallholder farmers, women, and youth.
Stakeholder Collaboration: The forum brings together national governments, international financial institutions (IFIs), multilateral development banks (MDBs), and private sector investors to deploy integrated AI solutions for agrifood systems transformation. Occurring amid a drop in overseas development assistance, this session stresses that innovative digital tools like AI are crucial to attracting the hundreds of billions required for global food security and climate resilience
