Private Equity Africa Awards 2022 | Private Equity Africa | Kensington Palace, Kensington Gardens, London W8 4PX, UK

Over the last decade, while Africa’s overall private equity industry has been plagued by low returns, some deal-makers have weathered the storm better than others, and delivered strong value and returns at portfolio company level.

As Private Equity Africa (PEA) celebrates its 10-year anniversary, the PEA Investor Summit focuses on analysing past exits and forecasting future returns.

The investor summit will precede the 10th Annual PEA Awards Gala Dinner.
