Some of Africa’s most influential government leaders, policymakers, investors and business executives will gather in Johannesburg from 6–8 August 2026 for the 4th DLO African Women in Leadership Summit. Held under the theme “Connecting Capital to Opportunity Across Africa,” the three-day Summit will focus on mobilising investment, strengthening regional trade, advancing industrialisation, improving energy security and creating commercially sustainable opportunities for African businesses and entrepreneurs.

Hosted by DLO Energy Group, in strategic partnership with UN South Africa and with Bloomberg as media partner, the Summit has developed into an important pan-African platform connecting government, business, development finance institutions, investors, entrepreneurs and project developers. Unlike traditional conferences, the DLO African Women in Leadership Summit is designed to move beyond discussion. Its purpose is to create direct access to decision-makers, facilitate commercially relevant introductions and provide a platform through which partnerships, investments and transactions can be advanced.
