2025ANDE’s Global Annual Conference 2025
Convening with purpose
What does it take to reimagine entrepreneurial ecosystems for a changing world? At ANDE’s Global Annual Conference, we convene a dynamic mix of unlikely allies—local innovators, global funders, corporate leaders, and grassroots builders—to ask bold questions and co-create practical solutions. This year’s theme challenges us to design ecosystems that are not only more inclusive and resilient but deeply rooted in the needs of emerging markets. Through candid conversations and unexpected collaborations, we’ll break silos to shape what comes next.
We don’t gather just to talk—we gather to act. Through hands-on workshops, roundtables, peer exchanges, and immersive site visits, the conference fosters candid dialogue and practical learning that attendees can apply immediately in their work.

Mobilising Pension and Sovereign Wealth Funds for Africa’s Sustainable Growth
Recent geopolitical events have seen a huge reduction in development aid to Africa. The continent is home to over US$1.3 trillion in pension and sovereign wealth fund (SWF) assets under management, yet only a fraction of this capital is allocated to infrastructure, climate resilience, and social impact investments. This is against a $200b annual SDG financing gap. As Africa looks to chart a sustainable and resilient growth path, unlocking even a modest portion of these domestic institutional resources to fund the SDG financing gap could be transformative.
Ahead of the 2025 AVPA Conference (Nov 3–5, Nairobi, Kenya), this webinar will convene influential voices to explore:
– How domestic institutional investors are approaching infrastructure, sustainable finance, and impact investing .
– Regulatory and market reforms needed to mobilise long-term domestic capital.
– Opportunities for collaboration between pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and impact investing platforms.
– This dialogue will serve as a curtain-raiser, setting the stage for deeper in-person discussions at the 2025 AVPA Conference, November 3-5 in Nairobi.Time: 9:00 AM ET
