This is not just another summit. It’s where capital meets intent!
We are officially counting down to the Africa Gender-Lens Investing Summit (AGIS) 2026 in Nairobi!

Nairobi is calling. If you are a founder raising in the next 12 months or an investor looking for the continent's most scalable female-led ventures, this is your room.
