The Annual Africa Pensions & Investments Summit and Expo 2026

Summit  Overview

Across Africa, pension and retirement systems are at a defining crossroads. The continent’s demographic transformation presents both an immense challenge and an opportunity to shape a more secure and equitable future. With over 500 million Africans projected to reach working age by 2035, the imperative is clear — to build sound, inclusive, and sustainable pension systems that can deliver income security in old age, mobilize long-term capital for development, and advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Africa Pensions and Investment Summit & Expo 2026 will bring together regulators, policymakers, institutional investors, pension fund trustees, asset managers, insurers, and development partners to shape the next generation of Africa’s pension and retirement reforms. The Summit will explore innovative approaches to policy harmonization, ESG-aligned investing, cross-border capital flows, and social security expansion, while addressing emerging priorities such as longevity risk, universal healthcare integration, and alternative investment strategies.

By convening key decision-makers and thought leaders, the Summit seeks to establish a continental framework for policy collaboration, regulatory alignment, and responsible investment practices, ensuring that Africa’s pension systems become a powerful driver of inclusive and sustainable growth.
