Now in its fifth year, the AVCA Sustainable Investing in Africa Summit has established itself as a leading platform for investors, fund managers, business leaders, policymakers and development partners to explore the evolving role of private capital in shaping Africa’s sustainable future.

Held under the theme, Built to Last: The New Global Reality, the 2026 Summit will examine how private capital can help build resilient economies, infrastructure and institutions capable of withstanding global shocks and delivering long-term value.

For SAVCA members, the Summit offers a valuable opportunity to engage with peers and industry leaders on the investment implications of geopolitical fragmentation, climate volatility and shifting economic power. Discussions will explore emerging trends, risks and opportunities across the private capital landscape, while showcasing practical approaches to deploying capital in a manner that delivers both commercial returns and sustainable impact.

As sustainability considerations become increasingly embedded in investment decision-making, the Summit provides timely insights to help private capital professionals navigate a rapidly changing market environment and identify opportunities for long-term value creation across the continent.
