We are Strategic Intelligence Forum
We convene the leaders shaping the future of finance, policy, and investment in Africa and Middle Eastern markets across many industries.
As a trusted platform for government and private sector-led forums, we bring together high-level stakeholders to unlock opportunity, accelerate deal-flow, and drive meaningful dialogue on strategic priorities.
Our Forums go beyond discussion — we catalyse connections, facilitate bilateral engagements, and create the conditions for impactful partnerships.
Bringing business, capital, and policy together is at the heart of everything we do.
