Are you booked? The UK-Africa Investment Conference will be held virtually this year. One year on from the UK-Africa Investment Summit, hosted in January 2020, the UK Department for International Trade is proud to organise the Africa Investment Conference, bringing together the UK and African businesses to discuss emerging and relevant themes around doing business in Africa, and to connect UK companies to opportunities of today and tomorrow across the continent.

Despite the current global economic context, the UK’s ambition to be Africa’s investment partner of choice has never been stronger, and strengthening investment relationships will be central in recovering from the disruption caused by the international COVID19 pandemic.
