The Djibouti Forum returns for its second edition:a unique platform for investment and dealmaking in Africa

Organised by the Fonds Souverain de Djibouti (Sovereign Wealth Fund of Djibouti), this landmark gathering seeks to positively shape the African agenda while highlighting the Horn of Africa’s pivotal role as a catalyst for growth and development in the region.

Positioned at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, the eastern corridor of Africa is emerging as a powerhouse of innovation, trade, and development. The Djibouti Forum 2025 builds on this momentum to offer a unique platform for economic transformation.

Through the visionary leadership of Djibouti policymakers, the Forum aims to identify and showcase investable opportunities in the region and across Africa, advance strategic partnerships and dealmaking and explore innovative solutions to drive sustainable growth across priority sectors.

“Our Strategic Vision 2035 is to consolidate our role as a port and digital hub while diversifying our economy, promoting inclusive prosperity and strengthening our position on the international stage” stated HE Ismail Omar Guelleh, President of the Republic of Djibouti.

 “Djibouti is also promoting regional integration and helping to strengthen AfCFTA to stimulate economic growth and sustainable development in Africa and the Djibouti Forum stands as a critical platform for accelerating business opportunities across our region and the continent.”

Following a successful first edition that gathered 46 expert speakers and representations from 280 institutions with a collective US$2.5 trillion in assets under management, the Djibouti Forum will return for a second time with an unparalleled network of policymakers, financiers, institutional investors, and industry leaders, to bring forward impactful dialogue and transformative opportunities.

Bringing together key stakeholders, the Forum will serve as a gateway for dialogue, collaboration, and concrete action toward shaping the continent’s future. The objective of this strategic meeting is to deliver valuable insights and foment discussions on future megatrends and macroeconomic outlooks while tapping into new opportunities.

Over 50 speakers will delve into critical themes shaping global markets, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), domestic resource mobilisation, and sector-specific insights spanning energy, logistics, hospitality, telecoms, technology and digitisation.

Investors and policymakers will explore the favorable prospects offered by ports and new trade corridors in creating value chains while leveraging partnerships and alliances to further strengthen regional and continental integration.

The Djibouti Forum connects decisionmakers, investors and developers to drive actionable outcomes and make an impact. This premier event presents a unique opportunity for high-level networking. Participants can access the full agenda and register directly on the Djibouti Forum website
