The Africa Prosperity Summit (APS) is a premier, invite-only gathering of leading investors, fund managers, policymakers, founders, and development partners shaping the future of innovation and capital across Africa.
Hosted by Ventures Platform and curated in collaboration with ecosystem players, APS is a high-impact, results-driven conference designed to spark candid conversations, foster strategic partnerships, and unlock pathways to scalable, long-term prosperity..
Anchored on the theme: “Growing the pie: Building the pathways for liquidity, scale, and enduring returns.”, APS 2025 will focus on closing the loop - from capital raised to capital returned. It will explore concrete strategies and lessons for accelerating liquidity events, delivering meaningful distributions to investors (DPI), and crafting required financial and regulatory frameworks that fuel sustainable growth.
Moving beyond traditional equity, we'll explore the full spectrum of financial instruments—venture debt, blended finance, revenue-based financing—that empower African companies to scale across borders and compete on the global stage.
Through authoritative keynotes, candid off-the-record LP/GP roundtables, meticulously curated deal rooms, and relationship-building opportunities within a trusted network, APS 2025 will arm participants with the insights, connections, and conviction needed to architect Africa's next growth chapter - one that delivers liquidity, scale, and compelling returns across continental and global markets.
“As an African venture capitalist, I should not be satisfied with investing in incremental changes that move the needle. My primary job is to find and fund market-creating innovations that will revolutionise entire industries and drive the prosperity of nations.”
