Egypt will host a series of high-level African events in New Alamein from October 2 to 4, bringing together African leaders, ministers, senior officials, private-sector representatives, and financial and investment institutions.
The events will include the Alamein Africa Forum, the Summit of the Founding States of the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and the 8th African Union Mid-Year Coordination Meeting, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation and Egyptian Expatriates said Tuesday.
The gatherings aim to advance African economic integration and sustainable development, while providing a platform for governments, businesses and financial institutions to explore investment opportunities and strengthen partnerships.
The Alamein Africa Forum is being convened pursuant to a decision by the African Union Summit in February 2026 to hold the forum every two years in New Alamein, as part of a series of high-level African events hosted by Egypt.
Egypt is organising the forum in close co-operation with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), a key partner in promoting trade, investment and economic integration across the continent.
The forum seeks to move from identifying Africa’s development priorities to mobilising the resources, investments and partnerships required to turn those priorities into tangible projects and measurable outcomes.
An exhibition will also be held alongside the forum to showcase major projects, investment opportunities, productive sectors and African companies.
It will provide an opportunity to facilitate direct engagement among governments, business communities, investors and financial institutions.
