AFSIC – Investing in Africa is the leading Africa-focused investment conference, held annually in London, serving as a key platform for investors, business leaders, and policymakers to connect and unlock new opportunities in Africa’s fast-growing markets. The 2025 edition will take place on 14–15 October at Park Plaza Westminster, bringing together over 1,500 high-level delegates from Africa and across the world.
At the core of AFSIC is its commitment to fostering investment, collaboration, and sustainable economic development across the continent. The event goes beyond traditional conferences, providing dynamic panels on key industry sectors, including investment banking, infrastructure, agriculture, fintech and innovation, power, and sustainable development. The newly launched Agenda at a Glance and Speaker Submission process ensures that discussions remain timely, relevant, and action-oriented.
AFSIC is renowned for its high-impact investor engagement, enabling businesses to pitch for capital and gain visibility among global investors. The Investor Pitching Room offers a rapid-fire platform where companies and funds can showcase their investment propositions to an audience of interested financial institutions, venture capitalists, and private equity firms.
The Meet the Investors sessions provide a direct channel for investors to introduce themselves to potential partners, facilitating meaningful interactions that lead to deal profiling and closing. The conference’s Country-Specific Investment Summits serve as a gateway for exploring business opportunities in different African nations, providing insights into investment climates, IPOs, and sector-specific growth potential. AFSIC prioritises high-level networking through its breakaway areas, where sponsors and exhibitors can host meetings and strengthen their market presence. The event kicks off with the Meet African Dealmakers networking session, which in 2025 will take place at the London Transport Museum, offering an informal yet strategic space for deal-making.
With diverse financial sector participants, including top European DFIs, investment banks, rating agencies, and pan-African banks, AFSIC offers an unparalleled forum for investors seeking new ventures and capital-raising opportunities. The African Investments Team works year-round alongside AFSIC to promote projects via the African Investments Dashboard and Deal Books, which profile multi-billion-dollar investment opportunities across the continent.
