SOCAP25 - Funding the Future: Investing in Africa’s Economic Transformation

By 2050, Africa will be home to the world’s largest workforce—offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to drive inclusive economic growth. With a rising youth population and growing demand for goods and services, the continent is becoming one of the most dynamic emerging markets. This session explores how a new generation of funders is meeting the moment—deploying fit-for-purpose capital to small and growing businesses, often with a gender lens. These innovative investors are unlocking high-impact opportunities across frontier markets and reshaping how capital flows. You will hear real-world examples of how catalytic funding is driving inclusive growth and gain insights into the future of investing in Africa’s rapidly evolving landscape.
