Organised by
The Global African Investment Summit offers attendees something truly unique. Our aim is for every delegate to acquire at least one viable investment opportunity in Africa that they wouldn’t have otherwise attained.
The summit will deliver a two-day programme showcasing African private sector businesses looking for private equity investors, investment banks, institutional investors, UNHWIs, venture capitalists, angel investors and operators interested in advancing deal flow in Africa.
The incredible network within the summit means it also hosts the African public sector at the highest level. Presidents and ministers, as well as CEOs of state run enterprises attend the summit, specifically looking to source investors to deploy funding and agree partnerships on multi-million/billion dollar national projects.
Over 1,000 business leaders in control of US$300 billion in managed funds will attend, over 200 projects are showcased and new business relationships brokered. There is not another summit in the world with this theme, approach and conclusive take away. It is the uniqueness of the summit that drives its value and position as a true market leader.
New for 2015 sees the launch of the African Entrepreneurship Programme (AEP), supported by His Royal Highness The Duke of York KG, Aliko Dangote, Africa’s most successful businessman and former Nigerian President, His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo.
In addition, a new case study stream will provide practical examples of project implementation, alongside country focused workshops. The popular project roundtables will offer delegates direct access to bankable African projects seeking investment.

Industry Support “For me, success is widely based on opportunity, determination and application. Africa has determination and application in abundance yet its private sector is sometimes hindered by opportunity. This programme is a platform of opportunity, a window to global markets, access to finance and true international partners who can support the African private sector growth story.”

I am a statesman on a mission for a continent very much part of the global economic village. The task before me is a rewarding one – to marry companies, consultants and financiers with governments and private project owners of some of the most attractive projects in Africa. More than US$300 billion worth of capital under management is represented at the summit – it is money that I hope we can direct towards agribusiness, power and energy projects, tourism and critical infrastructure.

In 2012, South Africa shocked the world when its police force shot and killed 34 protesting miners at Lonmin’s Marikana mine. Amid criticisms leveled at the South African government’s handling of the crisis and its failure to learn lessons from it, few asked how Lonmin’s relations with workers and local communities had deteriorated so badly. What lessons should corporations take from the tragedy? How can you ensure that your relations with local communities foster secure, profitable, and sustainable operations? How do you build a virtuous link between business goals and the rights of the communities where you operate? Join Cherie Blair CBE QC, Founder and Chair of Omnia Strategy, and Steven Fox, Founder and CEO of Veracity Worldwide, for an interactive round-table discussion bringing together the legal and strategic dimensions of successful operations in fragile environments.
What kind of risk assessment needs to be conducted prior to capital-intensive investments that affect local communities?
How can you engage with key stakeholders obtain the consent, support, and trust of local communities, ensuring they become your most valuable supporters?
Which policies and procedures do you need to put in place, and how do you ensure they translate into behaviour on the ground, rather than gathering dust on the shelf of corporate HQ?
How do you ensure you have the necessary information flows to enable you to anticipate problems and take mitigating action - long before a crisis can begin to emerge?
