Summary: The AFRICA CONNECT: MSIs Growth Summit (AFRICON) is more than a symposium — it’s a turning point in Africa’s economic development story. Scheduled for May 25–27, 2026, at the Julius Nyerere International Convention Centre in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, this summit will bring together 2000+ delegates, including entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and development experts from Africa, India, and beyond.
Key Highlights:
- High-level speeches from Tanzanian and Indian leaders.
- Interactive workshops and B2B networking sessions.
- Showcases of innovation in key MSI sectors like food processing, textiles, and engineering.
- Exhibition with 200+ booths and 1000+ exhibitors.
- Expected participation of H.E. President Samia Suluhu Hassan as Guest of Honor.
Why It Matters: MSIs are the bedrock of Africa’s economies, yet they often struggle for visibility, financing, and market access. AFRICON aims to change that—connecting African innovation with global investment, and knowledge with action. Attendees will leave with tools, contacts, and opportunities that drive long-term change.
