The Kenyan Wall Street will host the Bullish Africa Investors Reception on May 11, 2026, a premier gathering on the sidelines of the France–Africa Summit, a week expected to bring business leaders from across the world and over 30 heads of state to Nairobi.
- •The high-level event comes at a time when global capital is increasingly turning toward Africa’s markets, while also building momentum toward the upcoming Bullish Africa Annual Summit at the 81st United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York this September.
- •Held under the theme “Europe–Africa Corridor – Investment Opportunities,” the reception will spotlight growing trade, infrastructure, and capital flows between the two regions, creating a platform for high-level dialogue, partnerships, and deal-making.
- •The event is expected to convene over 150 senior executives, representing institutions managing billions in assets, alongside 50+ corporates, including leading Nairobi financiers and visiting European investors.
The evening will feature a fireside chat on “Unlocking Africa’s Capital Markets Opportunity,” covering key themes such as cross-border capital flows, infrastructure and energy investment, the role of financial institutions, and emerging trade partnerships.
This will be followed by a curated networking reception designed to connect decision-makers across finance, policy, and business. Blending capital with culture, the event will also showcase a curated African art exhibition featuring leading Kenyan contemporary artists, with select guests invited to an exclusive wine and art preview at Kaloki Nyamai’s studio on May 10.
The Nairobi reception builds on the success of the inaugural Bullish Africa event held in New York in September 2025, which attracted over 110 attendees—70% from financial services—and represented approximately $7 trillion in assets under management.
Attendance for the Nairobi reception is limited, with interested participants required to apply in advance via registration: https://luma.com/0cmlju44
