THE SUMMIT

About the Canada–Africa Business Summit

A meeting place for people working across health, technology, innovation and investment in Canada and Africa.

A platform for shared progress

The Third Canada–Africa Business Summit is convened by Marageri Ventures in partnership with Nomads Community Services, Digital Move IT & Telecom, and Livelihood Development International Initiatives. The summit brings together people and organizations working across the two regions. The first edition in 2025 and the second in 2026 created space for leaders, businesses, investors and institutions to meet, exchange experience and explore practical cooperation.

The 2027 edition turns its attention to resilient health systems and the partnerships that can help them grow. Healthcare, technology, innovation and investment are part of one conversation: how to connect expertise and resources with real needs.
