“Growing Africa’s Angel investing community is a critical component to scaling up the number of African start-ups successfully becoming global businesses.
AAIS 2016 is a crucial gathering for experienced and new investors to hold prescient conversations, sharpen their investing skills, and build the relationships needed for successful co-investment.” – Tomi Davies, President of the African Business Angel Network (ABAN)
The Summit will provide an unprecedented forum to network with pre-eminent opinion leaders in the African early stage investment space. It is a unique opportunity to solve African Angel investing challenges and access the latest investment methods – from sourcing deals and valuations through to exits.
Co-Investing & Co-operating Making It Work Together
The theme for AAIS 2016 is pertinent to the times, ‘co-investing, making it work together’.
With Nigeria officially in a recession and most major African economies suffering from low commodity prices, working together is seen as one of the only ways to unlock capital and maximize Africa’s entrepreneurial potential.
The 2016 Summit will be centered around how different players in the ecosystem can and should co-operate – Angels, VC’s, Government, diaspora, academia, crowd-funders, professional services, corporates, incubators, accelerators and others.
Confirmed Speakers and Panelists – more being added daily!
More than 40 speakers and panel experts will join 7 panels and 6 keynote sessions. For more info on the program please see: http://www.aais2016.com!
