The upcoming eleventh iteration of the Angel Fair Africa, a premier event that fosters investment deals between African entrepreneurs and investors, is scheduled to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, on the 7th and 8th of November. This event is designed to create a platform where handpicked entrepreneurs from across the continent can engage with a select group of investors to explore potential investment opportunities.
Since its inception in September 2013, Angel Fair Africa has become a roving beacon for deal-making, having been hosted in various major cities across the continent including Johannesburg, Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Abidjan, Maputo, Dar es Salaam, Mauritius, and most recently, Cape Town.
The event made its mark in Nairobi back in 2016 and is now set to make a return to the city this November. It will convene a diverse group of stakeholders from the African entrepreneurial ecosystem, including accelerators, incubators, and burgeoning businesses, along with investors looking to tap into the continent’s innovation potential.
Dr. James Mworia, the Group Managing Director and CEO of Centum Investment Company, which is behind the Two Rivers International Financial and Innovation Centre (TRIFIC), is slated to deliver the keynote address at the event. His participation underscores the significance of the event in connecting capital with innovation and enterprise across Africa.
