Mobilising Private Capital for Africa’s Infrastructure & Energy Future
Africa Infrastructure & Energy Conference (AIEC) - London
The Africa Infrastructure & Energy Conference (AIEC) brings together African governments, project developers, DFIs, pension funds, underwriters, and institutional investors to accelerate bankable infrastructure and energy transactions across the continent.
- 9th–10th July, 2026
- 99 Bishopsgate, London EC2M 3XF, United Kingdom
Background
The Africa Infrastructure & Energy Conference (AIEC) 2026 is a high-impact, transaction focused investment platform designed to connect African infrastructure and energy project promoters with UK and European financial institutions, institutional investors, and global capital providers.
The conference is uniquely positioned as a deal-driven platform centred on investment pipeline delivery, where African project sponsors present bankable infrastructure and energy opportunities directly to capital allocators, underwriters, and development finance institutions.
AIEC is structured to move beyond dialogue into execution, enabling African projects to access the capital, structuring expertise, and underwriting capacity required to reach financial close. By convening stakeholders in London, the conference aligns Africa’s growing project pipeline with the world’s most sophisticated financial ecosystem, ensuring that projects are positioned within globally competitive investment frameworks.
