28 April – 2 May 2025 | Lagos, Nigeria
The Annual AVCA Conference was established to unite investors, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and business leaders for a common purpose: to showcase investible opportunities across the African continent. As the premier private capital gathering on the continent, the conference welcomes delegates from over 50 countries, serving as a platform for critical discussions on mobilizing capital for sustainable growth.
This year's theme – Bold Moves: Powering 10x in Africa – reflects AVCA's mandate to catalyze transformative growth amidst complex market dynamics. It acknowledges current challenges—from consolidation and currency volatility to exit constraints—while emphasizing opportunities through innovative financing structures, dynamic value-creation strategies, and enhanced collaboration between fund managers, development finance institutions, and commercial investors.
Convergence is an industry partner of the Conference.
