“The 1:1 introductions alone paid for the trip three times over. We left with a signed term sheet and two more in motion.”
Following on from a hugely successful 2025 edition, the Africa Governance, Risk & Compliance Summit returns to Cape Town packed with thought-provoking insights from world-renowned opinion leaders. The 2026 programme runs under the theme "Building Resilient Economies: Integrated GRC for Africa's Sustainable Future" — with practical solutions for today's risk landscape, sharper forecasts on what the continent has to brace for, and cutting-edge takes on the role of technology and sustainability in GRC.
The operating landscape has insisted on staying volatile and dynamic. Geopolitical relations continue to impact economic, governmental, societal and business landscapes. Several organisations in Africa have had to pivot after the countries they operate in were slapped with tariffs, with severe impacts on supply chains and international relations.
By focusing on resiliency, equality and sustainability, the conference will gather experts whose insights promote organisational growth and development — particularly for the Global South — while addressing climate change and digital transformation. The programme will also help build investor confidence and deal flow within the corporate sector.
