    Unlocking investment, accelerating industrialisation and delivering sustainable growth

    Join heads of state, CEOs, policymakers and investors at the FT Africa Summit to explore the decisions shaping the continent’s economic future. Across two days, discover how shifting geopolitical alliances, competition for capital and growing infrastructure needs are influencing investment, industrialisation and sustainable growth, with direct access to the decision-makers driving Africa’s next chapter.

    About the Africa Summit

    Now in its 14th year, the FT Africa Summit brings together heads of state, business leaders, policymakers and institutional investors to address the opportunities and challenges shaping Africa’s economic future. 

    Through candid interviews and expert discussions moderated by senior Financial Times journalists, the Summit examines the forces transforming the continent’s economy — from global trade and capital deployment to infrastructure, energy, technology and industrialisation. Bringing together influential voices from across Africa and beyond, the Summit explores how investment, innovation and strategic partnerships can unlock long-term growth and build a more resilient, prosperous future.

    I have been following this event for quite some time. Its focus on Africa is important. London, as a financial centre, has a lot of investors looking at opportunities in Africa. And so this FT focus on Africa is a benefit not only to investors looking for opportunities, but for Africa as a whole.
