IMPACT = Unlocking sustainable growth in Africa through innovation and investment

Across Africa, innovative businesses are addressing essential needs, creating economic opportunities and building greater resilience for people and communities. But what investment and support do these businesses need to grow, scale and deliver lasting impact?

In this episode, Freddie Tucker of British International Investment is joined by Seema Dhanani of British International Investment, David Longdon of Equator and Benjamin Njenga of Apollo Agriculture. Together, they explore how investment in innovative African businesses can contribute to stronger, more sustainable economies.
 
The discussion examines opportunities in areas such as energy, agri-tech and financial services, as well as the role of development finance, early-stage capital, local knowledge and partnerships in helping businesses scale. The panellists also consider how commercially viable solutions can expand access, support inclusion and address climate resilience.
