Why Africa Now? Development, Infrastructure & the Diaspora Capital Conversation

Africa is entering a defining economic decade.
Rapid urbanization, infrastructure expansion, agricultural modernization, and digital transformation are reshaping markets across the continent.

Yet many professionals and members of the diaspora in the United States lack structured, grounded insight into how development actually works — beyond headlines and social media narratives.
The Africa Development & Capital Forum invites you to our inaugural in-person gathering in Washington, DC.

This session will explore:
• Key macro trends shaping African markets
• Infrastructure and real asset development opportunities
• The evolving role of diaspora participation
• Risks, realities, and responsible engagement
• What disciplined, long-term development looks like

This event is educational in nature and designed to foster meaningful dialogue and relationship-building among professionals interested in Africa’s long-term economic trajectory.
