Partner with the Summit
A Movement, Not a Single Market

Why Partner with the Summit?

Make in Africa is the gateway to a continent building its own industrial future, with AfCFTA opening one market across borders. Partnering with the Summit means access to that whole movement, not one market alone.

Who Should Partner with the Summit?

Large Companies and Multinational Enterprises

  • Why Partner? The Summit connects large companies to African industry across manufacturing, agro-processing, health, energy and finance, and to buyers and suppliers in many countries at once.

Innovative Startups and Tech Pioneers

  • Why Partner? Africa has a young population and a growing market. The Summit gives startups a direct line to manufacturers, investors and public bodies who can help a good idea become a made-in-Africa product.

Financial Institutions and Investors

  • Why Partner? The Summit connects investors to infrastructure, industrial and green energy opportunities across the continent, with direct access to the people shaping industrial and financial policy.

Government Bodies and Policy Makers

  • Why Partner? Make in Africa is a working bridge between the public and private sectors. Policymakers who engage shape frameworks that hold across borders, not just their own.

Educational Institutions and Research Organisations

  • Why Partner? We work with universities and research institutions to advance technology and applied research, and to build a workforce ready for African industry.

Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society

  • Why Partner? We work with civil society on shared social and environmental challenges, and on keeping industrial growth fair for workers and communities.
