Richard Nelson, Founder & MD of Abyss Global, will once again be attending the Africa Property Investment (API) Summit from 19-20 September, at The Westin, Cape Town, South Africa.
Richard will be attending primarily on behalf of our client WT Partnership, the global quantity surveying firm, and he will be joined by WT’s South Africa Director, Mario Penso.
Established as Africa’s most influential gathering of property investors, developers and leaders, this year’s summit will also include the Africa Proptech Forum and API Hospitality Forum.
The theme of this year’s API is ‘Real Impact’. In an economic landscape being reshaped by ESG requirements, energy access and logistics, real estate developers and investors that focus on impact and real demand will be positioned for long-term success. Sector agnostic, these impactful assets transform communities, and countries in their usage of space and ability to stimulate businesses growth and foreign direct investment (FDI).
And while themes of AI, monetary policy, climate action and diversification, will continue to be key themes to consider, those that focus on demand and impact will be the long-term ultimate winners.
As this year’s API Summit theme, Real Impact, we unlock how effective strategy and execution are key to success in this dynamic and shifting African landscape.
The API Summit represents a unique opportunity to reconnect and establish networks with over 500+ investors, developers, and prominent figures in the property industry from over 30+ African and international countries. The event promises exclusive and impactful networking experiences that will leave a lasting impression, including the API Summit Cocktail Party, the API Networking & IFC EDGE Champions Dinner.
As the premier event that brings together regional and global participants from all facets of the real estate value chain, this year’s summit will serve as a platform for over 100 + speakers and attract more than 550 in-person attendees over the course of two days.
Representatives from Africa’s leading banks, pioneering listed funds, institutional investors, developers, operators, and other key stakeholders will converge, shaping the agenda for the continent’s real estate landscape.
