It brings us great pleasure to confirm that the conference will be returning to Cape Town, South Africa, from 8 – 10 July 2026 under the theme "Built in Africa: Amplifying Continental Growth", and we would be delighted to have you join us.

The Africa Unlocked conference is a prominent business and economic summit hosted by Standard Bank. Centered around the theme of "Business Shaping Africa's Tomorrow", the conference focuses on boosting intra-Africa trade, unlocking the continent's vast economic potential, and exploring the pivotal role of commercial banking in driving sustainable regional growth. 

The forum serves as a primary hub for business leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss strategies for overcoming infrastructure and financial hurdles. It heavily features discussions on: 

• Accelerating economic growth through regional integration.


• Utilizing financial solutions to empower local sectors (such as agribusiness and corporate supply chains)


• Bridging the gap between policy ambitions and market realities to attract global capital.
