In Rabat, Morocco, the Africa Investment Forum 2025(AIF) is set to convene global investors, policymakers and business leaders from 26 to 28 November, with the ambition of accelerating the continent’s economic transformation. Since its launch in 2018, the Forum has generated nearly US$225 billion in investment interest, confirming its role as Africa’s premier marketplace for bankable projects.
The 2025 edition of the Africa Investment Forum(AIF) focuses on mobilising private capital for priority sectors including infrastructure, renewable energy, agribusiness and digital transformation. As Africa faces a persistent infrastructure gap and receives only 3% of global clean-energy investment, organisers aim to channel financing toward regional transport corridors, clean power projects and value-added agriculture to strengthen competitiveness under the AfCFTA.
Africa Investment Forum, it rises above the borders that we see on the African continent and really leverages all of our strengths.

Since its inception in 2018, the Africa Investment Forum has generated around US$225 billion in investment interest, thus confirming its position as the leading marketplace for bankable projects in Africa. The 2025 Forum will also bring together development banks, sovereign wealth funds and private investors with the aim of accelerating high-impact projects.
Our goal is to attract capital from the US and international markets into Africa. There aren’t enough projects, which is why the AIF is so important to us. We believe that having potential investors ready for projects in one place will actually make a difference.
Olivier Eweck, Head of Africa Public Sector, JPMorgan Chase
In a bid to sustain investor interest and speed up the delivery of critical infrastructure, the Africa Investment Forum’s eight founding partners, including the African Development Bank, Africa50, Afreximbank, the Development Bank of Southern Africa, and the European Investment Bank, seek to expand blended finance, streamline deal structuring, and accelerate financial closures. These measures are intended to reshape the continent’s economic trajectory.
