Investor Missions
Invest Africa offers a number of travel opportunities throughout the year that gives members unrivalled access to industry heads, senior government officials and local entrepreneurs.
Trips are liaised with a partnering government and the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Around the advertised schedule we will work with each investor to schedule proprietary meetings focused on their industry of interest.
The value-add of our travel offering lies not just in the introductions made within a particular country, but the time spent along-side other Invest Africa members who have complementary interests in the chosen country and/or sector.

Conference Access
The business conference model is a popular format for communicating Africa’s growth story to curious investors. Unfortunately the conference model suffers from over supply. Event invitations are ignored. Attendee quality is poor. Content is usually recycled.
IA looks to address these issues that plague conference businesses. We are not looking to reinvent the wheel. We are not a conference provider. Instead, we look to engage with high quality conference providers via the following:
We link our Conference Access Services with our own events, where we host ‘side’ lunches or dinners around major conferences. We also look to build an Investment Mission itinerary around a conference event
How does this benefit IA members? In exchange for providing the above services to conference providers, we look to secure free tickets for IA members, the face value of which can often be more valuable than an a year’s IA membership fee!
Who we have worked with
We bring and invite investors to credible conferences, improving attendee lists and the marketability of events.
A lot of Africa panels suffer from stale content that lack meaningful outcomes. We work with our research team and wider network to curate content for organisers or help improve their existing programme.
Invest Africa will curate panels of behalf of conference organisers. We will bring speakers and shape the content.
We invite C-Suite Executives and noteworthy entrepreneurs to speak at conferences on behalf of organisers. Our trusted brand, network of engaging speakers and track record in this department has made us a ‘go-to’ brand for organisers looking to improve their events.
Research and Market Intelligence
We have comprehensive and proven partnerships with expert professionals operating in most of Africa’s key markets and sectors. We can provide access with, and introductions to, these trusted advisors to ensure you are able to operate with a higher degree of confidence within your specific market or sector.
Whether you have an expert understanding of the investor landscape, or are making initial enquiries into Africa’s investment opportunities, Invest Africa’s market intelligence services can support you in your needs. Our research will help you to better understand trends, opportunities and risk – through an exceptional archive of project case studies, sector studies, historical analyses, statistics and reports. We offer a bespoke service for members seeking to gain specialist insight into certain markets or sectors, available on request via our research team.
Invest Africa also offers an exclusive, members-only monthly newsletter that provides unique insight and opinion from leaders, news on exciting projects and deals, and details of our forthcoming events – all included as part of your membership fee.
