The Forum that Moves the Continent.
A platform built for action, not applause.
The Africa Development Priority Forum (ADPF) is a flagship business gathering convening governments, multilateral institutions, sovereign wealth funds, global investors, industry titans, scientists and civil society to align capital and strategy around Africa's most urgent development priorities.
Hosted in London — the world's preeminent capital market and a gateway between continents — ADPF 2026 will translate ambition into bankable projects across economic growth, industrialisation, education, health, technology, climate change and energy mix.
Mission
Mobilise patient, purposeful capital toward Africa's transformation priorities.
Vision
A prosperous, industrialised, sovereign Africa fully integrated into the global economy.
Values
Integrity. Inclusion. Innovation. Impact at scale.
Why London. Why Now.
London is home to over £8 trillion in managed assets, hosts the largest African diaspora in Europe, and connects directly to 54 African capitals.
September is the optimal window — Parliament returns, investors are back from summer, and the UN General Assembly amplifies global attention on the continent.
ADPF 2026 lands in the heart of this momentum — three days at ExCeL London where decisions become deals.
