April 2027 | Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire

The Annual AVCA Conference and VC Summit is the largest Africa-focused private capital gathering globally, attracting investors who collectively manage over US$1.5trn in assets.​

Thank you to all the speakers, sponsors, delegates and partners who joined us both in Nairobi and virtually.

The conference took a dynamic approach this year, where industry leaders explored how the industry is challenging conventional models and charting new pathways for growth across the continent. Together, we examined innovative investment structures, the growing role of local institutional allocators, private credit and alternative financing solutions, and the venture ecosystems accelerating digital transformation and entrepreneurship.

Thank you, Nairobi! From thought-provoking discussions to the invaluable connections made, the city provided the perfect backdrop for Africa’s leading private capital gathering.

We hope to see you again next year in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. Save the date >>
