Invest Africa (http://www.InvestAfrica.com) and global corporate intelligence and cyber security consultancy S-RM (http://apo-opa.co/4qHDgVH) have renewed their partnership for the third year in 2026. The partnership reinforces a shared commitment to advancing trade and investment across the African continent.
Building on a strong year of collaboration in 2025, the partnership will deliver valuable insights and high-quality engagement across Invest Africa’s three flagship events:
- The Invest Africa Mining Series in Cape Town (February), under the theme ‘Unlocking Potential – Investing in Sustainable Value Chains, Growth, and Innovation’
- The Africa Debate in London (June), under the theme ‘Redefining Partnerships: Navigating a world in transition’
- The Africa Debate – UAE in Dubai (October)
Together, these events promote robust cross-sector dialogue and collaboration to advance trade and investment across the continent. Throughout the year, S-RM will also support Invest Africa’s members and wider network on a range of integrity and ESG due diligence remits.
Building on this momentum, Invest Africa and S-RM will continue to empower businesses and investors in 2026 by delivering actionable intelligence, tailored to an evolving geopolitical and regulatory landscape. They will also curate strategic events, thought leadership and insights to inform organisations seeking to invest in Africa.
Deepening strategic intelligence and market insight
With two decades of experience in Africa, S-RM helps Invest Africa’s network navigate opportunities and risks across the continent with industry-leading intelligence, resilience and response solutions.
Commenting on the renewal, Chantelé Carrington, CEO, Invest Africa, said: “We're delighted to renew this partnership, which has proven to be an asset to our network, providing critical insights and solutions in a rapidly evolving business landscape, supporting informed investment decisions across Africa. In 2025, S-RM helped elevate our flagship events – from the Mining Series to the Africa Debates in London and now the UAE. We look forward to continuing to work together to unlock opportunity and promote sustainable growth across Africa.”
Matt Venturas, Head of sub-Saharan Africa, Corporate Intelligence, S-RM, said: “We are delighted to enter another year as Invest Africa’s intelligence partner, having collaborated closely over the past two years. 2025 saw us broadening networks and unlocking opportunities throughout Africa, the UK, and the UAE – and we expect to build on these successes in 2026 through this key partnership. I’m looking forward to connecting with many of the Invest Africa members at the Mining Series in Cape Town next month, and throughout the year.”
