Today we’re spotlighting Africa Business Convention 2027’s Banking, Investment & Capital (BIC) community pillar, the financial backbone of Africa’s economic transformation.
BIC brings together banks, development finance institutions, pension funds, private equity firms, and asset managers, the institutions that decide where capital actually flows across the continent.
It’s a pillar built around a real gap: Africa holds some of the world’s most valuable resources and a fast-growing base of entrepreneurial businesses, yet capital markets are still catching up to that opportunity. Too many strong businesses stall not from lack of demand, but from financing that isn’t structured for African risk and African timelines.
Two of our flagship research publications sit directly inside this pillar. The Africa Investment Yearbook 2027 will offer proprietary analysis of where investment is moving across the continent, ahead of the market.
The Africa Risks Report 2027 will give partners a clearer read on the risk landscape shaping capital decisions, the kind of intelligence that’s typically hard to get in one place. Both are built to give BIC partners a standing seat in conversations that shape capital allocation long after the convention ends.
On the floor in March, BIC sessions connect sovereign wealth funds, DFIs, pension funds, and private equity directly with the businesses and projects that need financing. It’s where policy, capital, and opportunity are meant to meet in the same room instead of across disconnected platforms.
If your organisation sits in banking, investment, or capital markets and you’d like to explore what a BIC partnership looks like, reply to this email or reach out to ifunanya.nduka@africabusinessconvention.com or adedoyin.dosumu@africabusinessconvention.com
