In October 2026, Egypt's New Alamein, a coastal capital and fourth-generation smart megacity, will host the inaugural Alamein Africa Forum. This premier gathering aims to unite political power with entrepreneurial prowess, bridging established African growth engines with emerging sectors. Over twenty African Heads of State and Government, senior leaders from international and regional financial institutions, and key players in Africa's most critical industries will attend.
The forum, co-organized by the Egyptian government, African Export – Import Bank (Afreximbank), and the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD), brings together influential decision-makers to foster strategic partnerships and unlock investment opportunities across Africa and global markets. Topics will cover infrastructure, energy, digital transformation, manufacturing, and intra-African trade, with a focus on Egypt's role as a regional hub and gateway to African markets.
The biennial event, set to become a permanent fixture in Egypt, will complement the African Union Mid-Year Coordination Meeting and Afreximbank's annual meetings, aiming to translate African Union's 50-year strategic plan into economic reality and define Africa's economic trajectory for the next decade. In this volatile era, Africa must no longer remain passive, and the Alamein Africa Forum offers a crucial platform to shape reforms, lower risks, and mobilize capital alongside global leaders.
