AFRICA’S GREEN ECONOMY SUMMIT
A catalyst for sustainable growth, innovation, and impact across the continent.
The global shift toward sustainability is accelerating, and Africa is poised to lead the next wave of green investment. Forget the old narratives; the focus now is on opportunity, action, and tangible returns. At the heart of this movement is the Africa’s Green Economy Summit (AGES), a four-day platform dedicated to turning continental ambition into bankable projects.
If you are a global investor, a pioneering project developer, or a policymaker committed to climate-resilient growth, here is why AGES 2026 is where Africa's green future will be defined.
The Pivotal Moment: From Ambition to Action
Scheduled for 24-27 February 2026 in the dynamic setting of Cape Town, AGES 2026 is operating under the powerful theme:
“From Ambition to Action: Scaling Investment in Africa's Green and Blue Solutions.”
This theme perfectly encapsulates the event’s core mission: to move beyond promises and facilitate the capital flow necessary to finance Africa's transition to a just and inclusive Green Economy.
A Dealmaking Platform, Not Just a Conference
What sets AGES apart is its laser focus on facilitating deals. This is not a summit centered on policy debates—it’s an investor-driven marketplace engineered for practical outcomes:
40+ Investment-Ready Projects: Over two dedicated pitch stages (SMME and Infrastructure), AGES features a curated pipeline of transformative projects across various scales, ready for funding.
Investor-Centric Formats: The program is built around Deal Rooms and private Investment Roundtables, providing closed environments for leading global investors (DFIs, VCs, Asset Managers) to connect directly with project owners and co-investors.
Nature and Biodiversity in Focus: A specialized pre-conference day dives into cutting-edge financial instruments like biodiversity credits and debt-for-nature swaps, unlocking new markets for climate finance.
Curated Matchmaking: Attendees utilize a tailored program designed to ensure they connect with the most relevant investors, partners, and policymakers to advance their specific goals.
The Full Spectrum of the Green Economy
The Summit covers the entire ecosystem of Africa's green transition, ensuring investors and developers find opportunities across every high-growth vertical:
| Core Sectors Covered | Emerging Focus Areas |
| Renewable Energy (Solar, Wind, Storage) | The Blue Economy (Sustainable oceans, aquaculture) |
| Green Transport (EVs, MicroMobility) | Green Buildings & Real Estate |
| Sustainable Agriculture (AgriTech) | Carbon Markets & Biodiversity Credits |
| Water & Waste Management (Waste-to-Value) | Clean Technologies (Clean Tech) |
