Alamein Africa Forum to bring together key political and business leaders

The inaugural Alamein Africa Forum will take place from October 2-4 in the historic city of Alamein on Egypt's Mediterranean coast in parallel with the 2026 African Union mid-year summit.

The inaugural Alamein Africa Forum will convene senior political and business leaders across the continent, marking a significant gathering where policy and entrepreneurial influence intersect. Established by the African Union's mandate, this biennial event is set to become Africa's premier platform for bridging established growth engines with emerging sectors.

Heads of State, official delegations, and influential business figures from countries including Algeria, Angola, Ghana, and South Africa are expected to attend. Egypt's President Al Sisi, hosting this year's AU Mid-Year Summit, will preside over the gathering, alongside Aliko Dangote, Africa's leading industrialist.

The forum aims to forge strategic partnerships, mobilize resources, and align investment priorities to propel Africa's growth agenda forward. Co-organized by the Egyptian government, Afreximbank, the African Union, and AUDA-NEPAD, the Alamein Africa Forum will serve as a dynamic nexus for political and financial decision-makers to align their objectives and champion the continent's transformation.

Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Egypt's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, emphasized the forum's role in fostering direct connections between businesses and markets at the highest levels. Dr. George Elombi, President and Chairman of Afreximbank, highlighted the event's focus on intra-African trade, investment, and connecting the business community with critical investment opportunities.
