Institutional investors, development finance institutions, fund managers and business leaders will converge in Nairobi on 17–18 November 2026 for The African Circuit (TAC), a high-level investment forum focused on unlocking capital and accelerating economic growth across Africa.
The two-day forum, scheduled for Trademark Hotel in Gigiri, will bring together key players in Africa’s financial and investment ecosystem to discuss how the continent can attract more investment, overcome financing barriers and translate available capital into opportunities for businesses and infrastructure development.
The Nairobi meeting comes at a time when African economies are seeking innovative ways to finance development, strengthen capital markets and reduce investment risks while creating opportunities for private sector growth.
The forum will feature representatives from leading international financial and investment institutions, including FMO, DEG, Norfund, BlueOrchard, TDB Group and Convergence, offering participants an opportunity to engage with organisations shaping investment decisions across the continent.
What to Expect at The African Circuit Nairobi
Building on its inaugural Mauritius edition held in September 2026, The African Circuit Nairobi will focus on the financial challenges and opportunities facing Kenya and the wider East African region.
Discussions will explore how African economies can mobilise domestic savings, attract international investment, strengthen financial institutions and develop partnerships that support sustainable economic growth.
The programme will also examine the role of development finance institutions in unlocking private investment, improving access to capital and financing projects that can stimulate economic activity.
Among the key questions to be explored are who will finance Africa’s next phase of growth, how investment risks are assessed and priced, and what needs to change to ensure more capital reaches businesses and productive sectors.
For investors, entrepreneurs, financial institutions and corporate executives, the forum presents an opportunity to gain insights into emerging investment trends, interact with potential financing partners and build relationships with decision-makers across Africa’s investment landscape.
The Nairobi edition is expected to accommodate up to 300 delegates, with a programme featuring keynote discussions, expert panels and networking opportunities.
