Africa Summit
Africa’s global influence is growing. As the world navigates economic shifts, technological change and evolving political alliances, the continent is asserting a more confident voice, through regional cooperation, investment in innovation, and leadership on issues such as energy transition and sustainable growth. With a young, entrepreneurial population and increasing engagement on the global stage, Africa is helping to shape the next era of global development.
The FT Africa Summit 2026 will convene leading policymakers, business leaders, financiers and visionaries to explore how Africa can sustain momentum amid uncertainty. From reimagining trade and financing models to investing in infrastructure, skills and climate resilience, the discussions will focus on practical strategies for long-term competitiveness and inclusive growth.
Now in its 13th year, the Summit remains a vital platform for high-level debate on the continent’s economic and political trajectory, connecting ideas with action, and challenges with opportunity.
