About the Summit
More than a conference.A dealmaking floor.
Hosted by Africa Business Portal and Mbombo Investment Group, the Canada Africa Business and Investment Summit 2027 lands in Ottawa to bridge North American capital with Africa's most investable projects. For two days, sovereign funds, DFIs, family offices, governments and operators will share one floor — and one ambition.
Investor-ready projects from the African Investments Dashboard will be profiled in the Summit Deal Book and pitched on-site. Every coffee, every panel, every introduction is engineered for one outcome: closed transactions.

Designed by operators and investors, not bureaucrats.

Pan-African scope
Projects sourced across all 54 African markets.
Global capital
