The bustling city of Kampala, Uganda, is gearing up to play host to the highly anticipated Trans Africa Investment Summit from November 5-7, 2025. This premier event, organized by Pilot International, serves as a vibrant platform that brings together Africa’s brightest minds alongside global investors. With a strong focus on promoting sustainable investment, this year’s summit will delve into the theme of “Powering Africa with Solar Energy,” shedding light on the transformative potential of renewable energy across various sectors such as agriculture, mining, and infrastructure.
One of the driving forces behind the summit is the Women Entrepreneurship Forum Africa (WEFA), which aims to foster collaboration among high-level executives, CEOs, investors, government agencies, and SMEs from Africa and its diaspora. By providing a physical space for networking, participants have the opportunity to engage with potential clients, partners, exporters, and distributors. The emphasis on solar and renewable energy underscores Africa’s commitment to sustainable growth, attracting much-needed investment to propel economic development across the continent.
In 2024, the renewable energy sector in Africa witnessed a staggering $1.2 billion in investments, leading to the creation of thousands of jobs, as per recent industry reports. The upcoming summit seeks to build on this momentum by showcasing opportunities for collaboration and trade. From solar-powered agribusiness ventures in Uganda and East Africa to innovative renewable energy projects in Ghana, the event will spotlight real-world solutions that are driving positive change.
The summit will feature a diverse array of conferences and workshops, each tailored to spark innovation and catalyze investment. Key sub-themes include the Solar Energy Conference & Expo, Infrastructure Development, Manufacturing & Export, Agriculture and Value Chains, Mining and Value Chains, Tourism and Hospitality, Financing Opportunities and Investor Needs, and Energy Efficiency and E-Mobility Nexus. Thought leaders, innovators, and policymakers will share their insights to shape Africa’s sustainable future during these sessions.
Africa’s energy landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with a burgeoning youth population driving the demand for innovative energy solutions. Solar energy, in particular, presents a scalable pathway to electrify rural communities, support industrial growth, and reduce carbon emissions. The summit serves as a pivotal platform for entrepreneurs like Amina Okello, a Ugandan solar startup founder, to connect with global investors and scale their impactful projects.
