Deepening collaborations is expected to top the agenda as the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) hosts the Africa Sovereign Investors Forum.
The high-level event which is slated for the 16th and 17th of June will bring together sovereign wealth funds, global institutional investors, development finance institutions, C-suite executives, thought leaders, and sector experts from across the investment landscape to foster strategic partnerships that align with a shared commitment to Africa’s sustainable development and economic transformation.
With the theme “Leveraging African Sovereign Wealth Funds to Mobilise Global Capital for Transformative Development in Africa,” the ASIF is expected to spotlight the pivotal role of sovereign wealth funds and institutional investors in mobilising regional and international capital to drive inclusive growth and transformation across the continent.
NSIA said in Abuja yesterday that the two-day event will feature thought-provoking panel sessions, fireside chats and curated networking sessions aimed at deepening collaboration and catalyzing investment across priority sectors in infrastructure, energy, healthcare, technology, and more.
Speaking ahead of the event, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NSIA, Aminu Umar-Sadiq,
said: “NSIA is honoured to host sovereign wealth funds from across the continent to the 4th yearly meeting of the Africa Sovereign Investors Forum in Abuja.
This gathering comes at a pivotal moment that demands bold, coordinated action to deepen collaboration and unlock global capital for sustainable, large-scale, inclusive development in Africa.
By uniting our collective resources, African sovereign wealth funds can become a formidable catalyst for transformative growth, economic resilience and long-term prosperity.”
On his part, Chair of ASIF, Obaid Amrane explained that the forum is a powerful testament to Africa’s capacity to shape its development narrative.
He added: “By convening sovereign wealth funds and global investors, we are building the alliances needed to unlock transformational capital for an inclusive and sustainable future for the continent.
As we convene for this fourth edition of ASIF, we will mark a significant milestone in a journey that has steadily gained momentum since its launch.”
