The largest Africa-focused private capital gathering globally returns to South Africa for its 20th anniversary, bringing together investors, business leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers to advance investment in Africa.
With the theme ‘Embracing Change: Shaping the Next Era of Africa’s Prosperity’, the 20th Annual AVCA Conference and VC Summit will be held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 22 – 26 April 2024, to champion private capital investment into Africa.
Value chains are rapidly advancing based on energy requirements, food systems, and climate change, while economic ties between Africa and other regions are deepening. As Africa continues to assert its significance in the global economy, AVCA’s highly anticipated gathering will take a deep dive into how the private capital industry is navigating change and identifying pockets of growth within these areas.
The conference will explore how investors are steering global macro complexities and the priority action areas that make the region an increasingly attractive investment destination. Adopting a forward-looking approach, the conference dialogue will focus on fostering innovation and collaboration across the investment value chain and driving sustainable growth towards a new era of prosperity in Africa.
The forum convenes global leaders, investors and entrepreneurs all committed to investing in and ensuring the long-lasting economic development of the continent. Catalysing action to mobilise finance, the conference provides a unique platform for dialogue and access to interactive panels, roundtables, and one-on-one discussions centred on transforming the African private capital ecosystem.
