Welcome to AFSIC
Investment Conference
2nd - 4th May 2018
This is Africa’s Century – Don’t Miss Out
AFSIC, now in its 6th year, takes place 2nd to 4th May 2018 in London. AFSIC is one of the most important Africa investor events globally and is believed to be the largest Africa investment event taking place annually in Europe.
Africa is the second fastest growing region in the world. Multiple indicators suggest that Africa has entered a cycle of strong economic growth that will match that experienced by Asia over the past decades. Global investors are positioning themselves to understand the increasingly evident opportunities across Africa in greater depth. AFSIC is firmly focused on matching investors to investment opportunities in Africa, and has multiple networking events designed within the 2 and half day event, which has resulted in it gaining considerable popularity with investors, dealmakers and business leaders from across Africa. With business leaders from around 35 African countries expected to attend in 2018, and with over 200 speakers and participants in our new country sessions, and an expected 700+ delegates, AFSIC provides you with an unparalleled opportunity to develop and nurture a robust, high quality network of business contacts across the continent.
The wide spread of business leaders attending from across Africa attracts a significant proportion of major institutional investors focused on investment into Africa. These investors include listed and private equity firms, direct investors, endowments, foundations, family offices, private banks, sovereign wealth funds, DFIs, IFIs, impact investors, microfinance investors alongside a wide range of African based investors, and fund of fund investors.
AFSIC is fast becoming the premier investor event for Africa. Its mandate helps broaden horizons and broker new partnerships focussed on good quality, long-term investments in Africa. AFSIC aims to unlock a valuable dividend for both investors and companies operating within the new dynamic African economic environment.
