AFSIC - Investing in Africa 2020 | AFSIC - Investing in Africa | 5 May 2020 | Park Plaza, 200 Westminster Bridge Rd, Lambeth, London SE1 7UT, UK

AFSIC is believed to be the largest Africa investment event taking place annually outside Africa and has become one of the most important conduits of investment into Africa. AFSIC is entirely focused on highlighting Africa’s most interesting investment opportunities and offering Africa’s business leaders the opportunity to hold highly focused investment meetings with the continent’s most important investors and proactive dealmakers.

Results Focused Investment Event

AFSIC has a strong focus on results; making investment decisions, originating and executing transactions, and raising debt or equity capital are the key objectives for delegates attending AFSIC. The programme is designed to provide delegates with multiple opportunities to achieve these objectives, whether through presentations from many of the continent’s leading investors, or through attending the many formal and informal networking sessions during the event. This strong result focus has resulted in AFSIC gaining considerable popularity with investors, dealmakers and business leaders from across Africa.

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 private equity firms, direct investors, endowments, foundations, family offices, limited partners (LPs), fund of funds, listed equity funds, private banks, sovereign wealth funds, DFIs, IFIs, impact investors, microfinance investors alongside a wide range of African based investors.

Don’t Miss Out, Join Us!

AFSIC is perhaps the most important Africa investment event taking place annually outside of Africa. The event has developed a reputation for focusing on the discovery of genuine exciting African investment opportunities. Its mandate helps broaden horizons and broker new partnerships focused on high return, 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.
