Built to Last: The New Global Reality
Thursday, 15 October 2026 | Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London
Now in its fifth year, the AVCA Sustainable Investing in Africa Summit serves as a focused forum for critical dialogue on the evolving role of private capital in building resilient economies and delivering long-term value across Africa.
Guided by the theme Built to Last: The New Global Reality, this year’s agenda examines how investors are responding to geopolitical and economic fragmentation and how Africa can translate its energy, minerals and industrial strengths into sustainable growth.
From the infrastructure behind AI and financing the climate adaptation gap to investing in health, education and food security, measuring real economic transformation and mobilising domestic capital, the discussions are designed to sharpen strategy and identify practical pathways for investment.
Join more than 150 investors, business leaders, policymakers, development partners and entrepreneurs for meaningful dialogue, practical insights and high-impact networking.
