2025 Africa Investment Forum Market Days
THE AFRICA INVESTMENT FORUM
The Africa Investment Forum is a multi-stakeholder, multi-disciplinary platform that advances projects to bankable stages, raises capital, and accelerates deals to financial closure. Its vision is to channel capital towards critical sectors to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, the African Development Bank’s High 5s and the African Union’s Agenda 2063.
Since it was launched in 2018, the Africa Investment Forum has mobilised nearly $180 billion in investment interest. Its centrepiece is the annual three-day Market Days event, which brings together thousands of global investors, heads of development finance institutions, and business and government leaders to advance critical investment transactions to closure.

"Africa50 is one of the founding partners of the Africa Investment Forum bringing together a community of investors, project developers and many stakeholders. What is important is the mindset of people who come to the Africa Investment Forum. They come, not to attend a conference, but they come to transact and make deals."
