In the lead-up to the 11th edition of the Africa Early Stage Investor Summit, more than 30 investor meetups will be held between 26th September and 25th October 2024, hosted by local investors and organizations across key cities.
Since its inception in 2013, AESIS has established itself as the premier event for early-stage investment insights and opportunities across Africa. Co-created by ABAN and VC4A, the summit is dedicated to advancing Africa’s investment ecosystem.
This year, the momentum has already started with a series of AESIS Academy masterclasses, setting the stage for local investor meetups across African and global cities, all leading up to the summit, which will take place on 28-29 November in Cape Town, South Africa, under the theme “Pioneering Pathways: Innovating Investment Mobilization in Africa.”
Cities across Africa participating in the meetups include Nairobi, Kampala, Dar es Salaam, Lusaka, Tunis, Cape Town, Maputo, Conakry, Alexandria, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Moroni, Dakar, Lilongwe, Kigali, Windhoek, Douala, Gaborone, Abuja, Abidjan, Lomé, Praia, Casablanca, Johannesburg, Accra, and more. International cities like Dublin, San Francisco, and Amsterdam will also participate in the meetup lineup. By highlighting Africa’s investment opportunities, these meetups are designed to strengthen key partnerships and promote greater collaboration on a global scale.
“The investor meetups are an exciting prelude to the summit, showcasing the dynamic and rapidly evolving investment scene across Africa. These gatherings are more than just networking events; they’re a vital part of our strategy to drive meaningful investments and foster deep connections among investors and entrepreneurs. We’re thrilled to see such enthusiastic participation from cities across the continent and around the world, setting the stage for groundbreaking partnerships and innovative solutions.” Fadilah Tchoumba, CEO – Africa Business Angel Network
With limited spots remaining, investors are invited to secure their complimentary tickets for the upcoming meetups. Each meetup will offer in-depth discussions on emerging trends and opportunities in Africa’s investment landscape, ensuring valuable insights for attendees. These sessions also provide a unique opportunity to connect with key players, discover new ventures, and build valuable partnerships across the continent.
Investors are encouraged to secure their complimentary tickets here for the local investor meetup, as space is limited. The official AESIS website provides more details on the registration details. Meetup attendees will also benefit from a special discount for the landmark #AESIS2024 2-day summit, an opportunity to network with industry peers and collaborate for a stronger early-stage investment landscape in Africa.
The Investor Meetups have been made possible thanks to the incredible support from partners such as Stripe, Your Y Network, Black Women Startup Bootcamp, Digital Capital, UK Nigeria Tech Hub, African Angel Academy, mHub, Ideario, and UK South Africa Tech Hub, among others. We also want to thank the ABAN angel networks and co-hosts from various countries for their crucial contributions to making these events happen.
