Our events programme offers a platform for engaging discussions, industry insights, and meaningful connections with key players in the African market. Through a range of events, we facilitate conversations that highlight expertise, explore opportunities, and foster collaboration across sectors.
Under the theme, ‘Harnessing Natural Capital for Growth’, The Africa Debate 2025 will bring together policymakers, investors, and industry leaders to explore how the continent can leverage its natural capital to build competitive industries, scale advanced manufacturing, and strengthen regional supply chains. Discussions will focus on the role of infrastructure, investment, and policy to unlock Africa’s industrial potential and drive long-term, climate-positive growth.
In celebration of Women’s Day, Invest Africa, in collaboration with Aon, will host an exclusive breakfast event to honour and spotlight the remarkable contributions of women leaders driving progress across industries.
As the world increasingly looks to Africa for growth and innovation, the continent is positioning itself as a leader in sustainable development and urban transformation. Join us to shape Africa’s urban transformation. Connect with industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators as we explore solutions to drive sustainable growth, redefine infrastructure, and build a future that serves as a model for the world.
Agriculture supports over 60% of Africa’s population, yet the continent spends $35 billion annually on food imports. With 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, Africa has vast agribusiness potential. This event will explore scalable, sustainable solutions to unlock investment, empower smallholder farmers, and transform Africa’s food systems through innovation, finance, and cross-sector collaboration.
Following the success of the inaugural The Africa Debate – Dubai in 2024, Invest Africa is pleased to return to the UAE on 30 September 2025 with the second edition of Dubai’s leading Africa-focused investment summit. Hosted under the theme ‘Shared Markets, Shared Future’, the event will explore how deeper collaboration between Africa and the Gulf can unlock new opportunities for trade, investment, and sustainable growth. Bringing together senior business leaders, investors, and policymakers, the summit will provide a platform to forge strategic partnerships and advance dialogue on the future of UAE-Africa economic relations.
In partnership with Eversheds Sutherland, this event will explore the real-world barriers to AI adoption across African markets, from regulation to infrastructure, and discuss how to foster responsible, inclusive innovation. Hear from industry experts and engage in meaningful dialogue on AI’s future in Africa.
