One strategic alliance
with Africa – GCC Council
A Compelling Vision with an Intercontinental Mindset
Engaging with the African Pavilion and its Stages & Lounges at the AIM Congress 2026 is a strategic decision that offers Partners, Sponsors and Delegates direct access to the heart of one of the world’s leading investment platforms, with a specific focus on the continent's dynamic economic future.
The Africa Pavilion at AIM Congress
is conceived not merely as an exhibition space, but as a strategic ecosystem designed to catalyze the immense potential of Africa-GCC relations. This initiative is timely, data-backed, and addresses a clear strategic shift.
GCC countries are actively diversifying their economies beyond hydrocarbons, with non-oil sectors demonstrating resilient growth. Their national visions in the Middle East are driving this transformation, creating a natural alignment with Africa's development needs.
The Pavilion is designed to cultivate trust-based, impact-oriented partnerships. By embedding cultural understanding and meaningful human connection at its core, it aspires to position itself as a respected and indispensable platform within the global investment ecosystem.
More than a presence, it seeks to become a platform of choice, one that stakeholders actively engage with, value, and return to as a catalyst for sustainable collaboration and long-term growth.
