From 26–28 November 2025, AFRICA24 Group will deliver live, global coverage of the 2025 Africa Investment Forum (AIF) Market Days, the continent’s flagship deal-making platform that seeks to channel billions into transformative African projects in infrastructure, energy, agriculture and digitalisation.
Held at the Sofitel Jardin des Roses in Rabat, Morocco, this year’s Market Days promises to be among the biggest yet, bringing together project sponsors, investors, development financiers, commercial banks, insurers, export-credit agencies, heads of government and leading business figures from across the globe.
Since its inception in 2018, the Africa Investment Forum has emerged as the continent’s premier platform for transforming promising ideas into bankable projects. The annual Market Days event helps bridge the gap between project developers and investors, reducing transaction friction and accelerating financial closure.
At the previous edition of Market Days, the platform saw 37 bankable projects launched and drew participation from over 2,300 delegates from some 83 countries.
Over time, the Africa Investment Forum has helped mobilise more than US $180 billion in investment interest across Africa, directing capital towards critical sectors such as infrastructure, energy, agriculture and healthcare, areas vital for sustainable development and long-term growth.
This growing momentum reflects rising global confidence in Africa’s economic potential, underpinned by youthful populations, urbanisation, expanding consumer markets and the need for substantial infrastructure and energy investment.
What to expect at Market Days 2025
The three-day event will follow a structured agenda:
26 November: Official opening session and plenary discussions.
27 November: High-level panels featuring policymakers, financiers, private-sector leaders, and project developers.
28 November: Final plenary and deal-closing sessions, a crucial moment where investment commitments are often finalised.
Across these sessions, stakeholders will explore opportunities in four key sectors: infrastructure, energy, agri-food, and digitalisation. Many projects at advanced stages of preparation will be pitched for financing, offering investors a chance to commit capital and bring high-impact initiatives to fruition.
To ensure maximum visibility and engagement, AFRICA24 will broadcast the event live and on demand on all its platforms. This includes:
AFRICA24 English (Channel 254) and AFRICA24 (French) (Channel 249) on the Canal+ Africa bouquet
The on-demand streaming platform myafrica24 (available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store)
The AFRICA24 website (Africa24TV.com), accessible across TV, smartphones, tablets and computers.
With a reach of over 120 million households across Africa, and more than 8 million digital subscribers, AFRICA24 aims to make Market Days 2025 a truly pan-African and global affair.
The 2025 Market Days comes at a pivotal moment: global capital is increasingly scrutinising emerging markets for high-yield, high-impact opportunities, and Africa, with its fast-growing demographics, resource wealth, infrastructure needs, and digital potential, presents perhaps the most compelling frontier.
By facilitating deal-making across infrastructure, energy, agriculture, and digital sectors, the Forum could help accelerate progress on Africa’s pressing challenges, from power deficits and food security to connectivity and urban infrastructure.
For investors, Market Days offers a curated pipeline of vetted bankable projects, reducing the time and risk typically associated with emerging-market investing. For African governments and project sponsors, the platform provides access to capital, expertise and global partners.
AFRICA24’s decision to broadcast the event widely underscores an important shift: investment in Africa is no longer being decided behind closed doors in boardrooms alone, but being opened up to public scrutiny, discourse and broader stakeholder engagement.
That said, turning interest into results and projects into concrete on-the-ground impact, will require overcoming significant structural and institutional challenges. These include ensuring strong governance, refining regulatory frameworks, aligning regional policies, and guaranteeing long-term viability of financed projects.
However, the performance of previous AIF editions and the growing interest from global investors suggests a rising appetite and growing confidence in Africa’s future. As one industry observer put it recently, “Africa is not just the next big thing, it is the now big thing.”
