The 12th annual AWIEF Conference and Exhibition is Africa’s largest women entrepreneurship gathering of business leaders, founders, SMEs, investors, policymakers, development partners, and ecosystem stakeholders from 50+ countries to unlock opportunities for capital, new markets, and partnerships for business growth and scaling.
AWIEF2026 convenes under the theme “Beyond Access: Owning Capital, Markets and Power”, focusing on how women can move beyond access to resources towards greater participation in capital ownership, value chain leadership, and economic decision-making while building sustainable businesses.
