FT Live Africa Summit
A prestigious platform for Africa’s most influential leaders
As the world navigates economic shifts, technological change and evolving political alliances, Africa is asserting a more confident voice. The continent is enabling greater regional cooperation, boosting investment in innovation, and showing leadership on issues ranging from new energy solutions to the digital economy. With a young, entrepreneurial population and increasing engagement on the global stage, Africa is helping to shape the next era of global development.
Taking place across two in-person days, the FT Africa Summit 2026 will convene leading policymakers, business leaders, financiers and visionaries to explore how Africa can sustain this momentum amid uncertainty. From reimagining trade and financing models to investing in infrastructure, skills and sustainable growth, the summit continues to offer an unparalleled platform for African leaders in business, finance and policy to collaborate — and engage on the topics shaping the future of the continent.
Now in its 13th year, the FT's Africa Summit is the established forum for crucial dialogues on turning Africa's challenges into economic, social and business opportunities.
