AfricArena Amsterdam Wired Speed Connect 2026
About this Event
AfricArena Wired Speed Connect is a curated, invitation-style networking experience bringing together Limited Partners, General Partners, and high-potential African startups for structured 1:1 deal conversations, all over lunch at the heart of Super Return Emerging Markets Conference and the Amsterdam Tech Week
Two dedicated speed networking sessions run back-to-back: LPs meet GPs, then GPs meet startups. Each meeting is a focused 15-minute block. No panels, no pitches, just direct deal discussions. With 45+ participants and branded meeting stations, every conversation counts.
This is the only AfricArena event purpose-built for capital allocation conversations. Space is strictly limited.
