28-29 February 2024
Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town, South Africa
Our fourth Africa Family Office Investment Summit has been designed specifically for family offices in the region, and those who want to connect with them.
Introduction
Our fourth Africa Family Office Investment Summit has been designed specifically for family offices in the region, and those who want to connect with them.
The summit offers a mixture of informal networking and expert insight, with panels, interviews, round table discussions and strategic socialising opportunities.
The aim of the summit is to help families and service providers connect and network, to learn from each other and to prepare for the future and the challenges to come.
Our programme reflects this aim, presenting a mixture of topics including private equity and venture capital, Africa’s current position in world economics and geopolitics, fintech, natural resources, succession planning, structuring your investment portfolio, digital assets, corporate governance and more.
This diverse but highly relevant programme will spark ideas and conversation which – when paired with the high level decision-makers we have invited to this summit – has the potential to create exciting new opportunities for all delegates.
The event will gather more than 70 single family offices from Africa with our usual highly rewarding 70:30 split of family offices to service providers.
Our story
The Alduaij family office has a long and illustrious history in Kuwait as one of the most prominent and respected business forces in the region, as well as one of the most socially responsible.
Through their networks, Alea Global have formed strong personal and professional relationships with other family offices across the globe, all sharing much common ground and a willingness to work together.
From this network, experience and expertise, a series of successful Family Office Investment Summits has arisen, attended by ruling and elite families from every region with an historic and enduring influence on the global economy.
Our fourth Africa Family Office Investment Summit is the latest of these, building on the success of other such summits around the world.
As a family office ourselves – as well as your conference host – we understand the needs, concerns and wishes of family businesses better than anyone else.
We share many of your experiences and objectives, and we understand what makes an event like this beneficial to family offices as well as service providers.
