Africa Events Limited (AEL) is revolutionizing Africa’s business, trade, and investment landscape. We are dedicated to boosting Africa’s economy, reducing poverty, and increasing incomes across all business sectors in all 54 African countries.

AEL’s Managing Director, Rupert McCammon, has an extensive history of promoting investment, business, and trade opportunities in Africa. Previously serving as the CEO of the Botswana Stock Exchange during its peak performance, he also played a pivotal role in establishing Botswana’s largest investment bank.
The importance of increased investment in Africa cannot be overstated. According to McKinsey’s report on solving Africa’s infrastructure paradox, there is a significant shortfall in annual infrastructure investment, with more than 50% of projects remaining stagnant in the feasibility stage. Only 20% of these projects successfully progress beyond the planning stage, and even fewer reach financial close. AEL’s platforms aim to address this issue by facilitating and closing transactions on a continental scale, connecting both major corporate players and participants engaging in business and trade for the first time.
AEL’s success and its ability to play a significant role in Africa’s business, trade, and investment landscape are attributed to the development of sophisticated digital processes and automated matching platforms. These platforms were recognized with the prestigious 2022 Global Salesforce Innovation Award for Financial Services. Salesforce, being one of the world’s largest listed companies and a leading global tech company, further validates the excellence of AEL’s platforms.
Africa Events Limited collaborates with major National Trade and Investment Promotion Agencies, as well as governments, to foster business connections within Africa. As an example, AEL actively supports the Prosper Africa initiative, which aims to enhance two-way trade and investment between the United States and Africa. AEL’s involvement includes significantly increasing US exports to Africa and assisting in the establishment of new supply chains from Africa to the US. Prosper Africa is a comprehensive government initiative that harnesses the services and resources of 17 US Government Agencies.
