Former President Kikwete has said it many times, including at ALM's 2025 Summit: no plan for Africa is complete
without its young people.

This December, young founders, women leaders and the diaspora get a plenary of their own, on the main stage
and not in a side room.

Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, Director General of NAFDAC, Nigeria, was honoured at the 16th African Business Leadership Awards in London.

This is how exceptional leaders are recognised.

This December, leaders like her return to London for the ALM Africa Summit London 2026, where the conversation moves from recognition to partnership between Africa and the UK.

Africa's population is the youngest in the world.

Former President Kikwete told the 2025 Summit it is either the
continent's greatest opportunity or its gravest challenge.

Which one it becomes depends on the skills, jobs and partnerships built now.

The full programme for 10–11 December is live today, and early-bird passes close tonight.

Dr. Louisa Mojela, Founder and Group CEO of WIPHOLD, was honoured by African Leadership Magazine in London.

This is how exceptional leaders are recognised. Dr. Mojela co-founded WIPHOLD to put women at the centre of South Africa's economy, and she has spent decades building one of the continent's most respected investment groups.

"In Africa," she told the room, "we believe that those who come after us must transcend us."
That spirit runs through this December's ALM Africa Summit London, where young leaders, women and the diaspora take the main stage alongside ministers, investors and CEOs.

Investors can live with risk. What they struggle with is unpredictability.

At ABLA 2026, Dr. Abdulmajid Nsekela argued that Africa has to redefine its policies and make them predictable, so capital responds to today's reality rather than old perceptions.

Policy that investors can plan around is one of the commitments December's Summit is built to produce

Former President Jakaya Kikwete used these three words when he addressed the 2025 Africa Summit London inside the UK Parliament. "Leadership must be anchored in service, integrity, and courage," he told the room.

They are simple words, but they are hard to live by. Service means leading for others, not for position. Integrity means doing what is right when no one is watching. Courage means making the difficult decisions that real progress needs.

They describe the kind of leadership the next chapter of UK–Africa partnership will need, and the kind the new UK–Africa Leadership Awards will honour. .

Confidence is the part of the investment story that rarely makes the headlines, but everything else depends on it.

Governor Henry Saamoi made the point at the House of Lords in July: get the confidence right, and investment and growth follow.

In December, investors, central bankers and ministers will sit in the same room to work out how.

At IFACL 2026 in New York, the Prime Minister of The Bahamas made a simple point about Africa and the Caribbean.

When Afreximbank looked across the Atlantic, it didn't see a charity case. It saw partners. It opened an office in Barbados, signed agreements with Caribbean states and put real money into infrastructure.

His line stayed with the room: "Solidarity is not a speech. Solidarity could be a balance sheet."

That is the kind of partnership we're bringing to the ALM Africa Summit London on 10–11 December.

Regional cooperation gives African countries greater bargaining power with investors. At ALM’s 2023 London Summit, Hon. Johnny Ohisa Damian highlighted why East Africa should approach investment as one region.

As Africa deepens integration, the focus remains on turning collaboration into results.

Africa does not lack opportunity. What decides whether capital arrives is trust in the institutions behind it.

Speaking at the House of Lords in July, Henry Fallah Saamoi, Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Liberia, put
it in one sentence.

In December, the Summit's Invest pillar picks up exactly this question: how the UK and Africa build markets
investors can believe in.

"Beyond Aid" is not a slogan against aid. Aid has built relationships, schools and health systems across Africa, and it still matters. But it was never meant to be the whole story.

The UK–Africa relationship is already moving on: towards investment, trade, security and skills. These are partnerships where both sides have something to gain and something to build. African governments want more value created at home. UK businesses, universities and investors want partners for the long term.

That is the conversation we are bringing to London on 10–11 December, across seven sectors, from health and energy to critical minerals and skills.

For years, the headlines about Africa have leaned towards fragility.

Former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete
said so directly when he addressed the 2025 Summit inside the UK Parliament.

The story is changing. Investment, trade, security and skills are now at the centre of the UK–Africa conversation,
and that is where this December's Summit begins.

Every conversation about Africa's future eventually comes back to one question: whose ideas lead?

At the 2025 Africa Summit London, Dr. Ken Giami answered it plainly. Growth that lasts is driven by African ideas, African enterprise and African solutions.

This December, the Summit takes that idea into a new chapter: a UK–Africa partnership built on what both sides bring to the table.
