AVCA Sustainable Investing in Africa Summit | Built to Last: The New Global Reality

• By AVCA Now in its fifth year, the AVCA Sustainable Investing in Africa Summit has become a leading platform for investors, business leaders, policymakers and development partners to explore the evolving role of private capital in shaping Africa’s sustainable future. The Summit explores best practices for investing with a sustainability lens, emerging trends and risks and innovative, homegrown solutions for long-term growth. Date: Thursday, 15 October 2026 Venue: Jumeirah Carlton Tower, London This year’s theme, Built to Last: The New Global Reality, reflects a world being reshaped by geopolitical fragmentation, climate volatility, technological disruption and shifting economic power. As traditional assumptions about growth, trade and investment are challenged, sustainability is increasingly being viewed through the lens of resilience. The conversation has therefore transitioned from intent to durability: what does it take to build capital, infrastructure and institutions that can withstand shocks and deliver long-term value? “The Summit was intimate enough to have real, meaningful conversations, but large enough to put you in the room with the people driving change in the industry.” - 2025 Delegate Against this backdrop, AVCA’s Sustainable Investing in Africa Summit will examine how investors are adapting to a world where resilience has become a defining investment principle. From climate adaptation and energy security to industrialisation, human capital and economic transformation, this flagship forum will isolate on how private capital can enable the development of economies and institutions that are truly built to last. Key Themes This year’s agenda centres on the continent’s most pressing challenges and its clearest opportunities, including: Navigating a New Global Reality Determining how geopolitical fragmentation, shifting trade dynamics, climate volatility and technological disruption are reshaping investment priorities, capital flows and long-term value creation. The Convergence of Sustainability and Resilience Exploring how investors are increasingly viewing sustainability through the lens of resilience. Africa’s Strategic Opportunity Examining how the continent can leverage its natural resources, energy potential, demographic strengths and entrepreneurial ecosystem to drive industrialisation, competitiveness and sustainable growth. Climate, Adaptation and the Transition Economy Identifying opportunities to finance climate resilience, adaptation and the transition to more sustainable and inclusive economic systems. Innovation, Technology and Future Infrastructure Assessing how advances in technology, digitalisation and artificial intelligence are transforming industries, creating new investment opportunities and reshaping infrastructure needs. Investing in People and Prosperity Understanding the critical role of health, education, skills development and food security in building resilient economies and supporting inclusive growth. Measuring What Matters Moving beyond traditional reporting frameworks to better understand, quantify and demonstrate economic transformation, job creation and long-term impact. Mobilising Capital for the Future Navigating how private capital, institutional investors, development finance institutions and policymakers can work together to unlock investment at scale and accelerate sustainable growth across Africa. Discussions at the Summit are designed to challenge assumptions, sharpen strategy and identify practical pathways for deploying capital in a rapidly changing world. Join us to explore how capital allocators, investors, founders, service providers, institutions and policymakers can build and unlock an Africa that reflects sustainable growth, economic resilience and shared prosperity in a new global reality.

이번 AVCA 지속 가능한 투자 서밋은 올해로 5회를 맞이하며, 아프리카의 지속 가능한 미래를 위한 사적 자본의 역할을 탐구하는 주요 플랫폼으로 자리잡았습니다. 이 서밋에서 다루는 주제들은 우리가 현재 직면한 경제적 문제와 기회에 대한 심도 깊은 논의를 이끌어낼 것입니다.
예를 들어, 올해의 테마인 'Built to Last: The New Global Reality'는 기후 변화, 기술의 발전, 경제적 변화 등 다양한 요인들이 글로벌 투자 환경을 어떻게 재편하고 있는지를 시사합니다. 이러한 복잡한 환경에서 지속 가능성은 단순히 환경 보호를 넘어서, 경제의 회복력을 키우는 새로운 투자 원칙으로 떠오르고 있습니다. "우리는 정말 이 변화를 원하고 있는 걸까?"라는 질문을 통해 각자 어떤 관점에서 아프리카의 미래를 바라봐야 할지를 고민해 볼 수 있습니다. 세부 주제 중 하나인 '기후 적응과 전환 경제'를 통해서는 아프리카가 기후 변화에 어떻게 대응하며, 지속 가능한 경제로의 전환을 이룰 수 있는지에 대한 논의가 이루어집니다. 이는 단순히 이론적 논의가 아니라, 아프리카 경제에 실질적인 변화를 가져올 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것이죠. 이러한 서밋은 산업 내 변화를 주도하는 사람들과의 의미 있는 대화의 장으로, 아프리카의 경제적 기회를 찾아내는 데 중요한 발판이 될 것입니다.
