Nairobi Set to Host the 2025 AVPA Conference
Nairobi is ready to welcome the 2025 AVPA Conference, happening from November 3 to 5, 2025, at the Trademark Hotel. This big event is organized by the African Venture Philanthropy Alliance (AVPA) and will bring together more than 400 important people from all over Africa and beyond. These people include investors who want to make a difference, philanthropists, government leaders, and experts who work with money to help communities grow. The goal of the 2025 AVPA Conference is to find new and better ways to invest money in Africa so the continent can grow stronger and face future challenges.
The theme for this conference is “Future Proofing Africa: Driving Sustainable Investments and Innovations for Resilient Growth.” This means the event will focus on how Africa can prepare for the future by making smart investments and using new ideas to support steady and lasting growth. Everyone coming to Nairobi will talk about how to help Africa develop by putting money where it really counts.

Dr. Frank Aswani, the CEO of AVPA, said this is more than just a meeting. It is a movement across Africa to change how money is used to help people. From cities like Lagos and Lusaka to Nairobi and Cape Town, the 2025 AVPA Conference will bring together investors, innovators, and leaders to work on bold new ideas that can shape Africa’s future.
The conference will have big group talks and smaller sessions on topics like creating better policies, raising money locally, mixing different types of investments, and strong leadership. There will be special talks about important industries, including clean energy to help fight climate change, financial technology to include more people in banking, farming technology to secure food supplies, and artificial intelligence to create bigger, lasting impacts.
One of the fun parts of the 2025 AVPA Conference will be the “Impact Disco,” a relaxed time where people can meet and network. This will help attendees build new friendships and partnerships across different areas, which can lead to important projects in the future.
After the conference, there will be an “Impact Safari.” This is a time when people get to see real-life examples of how investments are making a difference in communities around Nairobi. The Impact Safari will give participants a chance to explore new ideas beyond the main talks and see how social change is unfolding on the ground.
Nairobi plans to host the 2025 AVPA Conference is happening at an important moment. Impact investments in Africa have grown a lot, reaching over $11 billion in 2025. These investments are bringing returns of 15 to 25 percent in many areas. This shows Africa is becoming a world leader in smart investing with a clear purpose.
Adedotun Sulaiman, the AVPA Board Chair, said Africa is at a special point in history. The continent has plenty of money and talent, but what it needs most is for people to work together better. The 2025 AVPA Conference is about turning good ideas and hopes into real investments and strong results. He believes Nairobi is the perfect city for this, and the timing couldn’t be better.

Nasri Adam, AVPA’s Director of Impact & Communications for Pan-Africa and Regional Director for East Africa, explained that Africa has about $12 billion in local funds that are not being used yet. These include money from pension funds and insurance, which could help many projects if unlocked. The conference will focus on new ways to make sure this money supports growth that includes everyone and lasts a long time.
Nairobi set to host the 2025 AVPA Conference means a big step forward for Africa. It will be a place where ideas turn into action and where people come together for a brighter, stronger future. The 2025 AVPA Conference will help open doors for new partnerships and investments that will truly make a difference in Africa’s growth and success.
