Upcoming Virtual Events

ICA Zambia: Open for Business  

First session – Investor focus: Virtual Due Diligence
24th February 2021

Impact Capital Africa is proud to introduce a series of virtual events, taking place over the course of 2021, to demonstrate to the world that Zambia is truly ‘open for business’.  

Organised in association with our partners Prospero, the series will provide bite-sized, impactful virtual sessions for investors, growth-focussed businesses and key players in the Zambian market. With numbers strictly capped for each event, the onus is on creating an interactive and discursive space where market leaders can dig into the issues and opportunities faced in a fast-changing world and gain perspective on how the investment landscape is evolving.  

Kicking off with an hour-long investor roundtable on due diligence on February 24th, the series will go on to host a live online session for growth-focussed businesses in March and a virtual pitching event in April, with more planned for 2021.  

If you’d like to get involved, either as a participant or to suggest a topic for discussion, please email [email protected].

High value round tables

Round table discussions offer a great networking avenue that give all attendees the opportunity to share with, and learn from, a group of peers. Our roundtables are moderated by carefully selected ecosystem enablers who keep conversation flowing and facilitate honest discussion.

SME showcasing

ICA is a dynamic event: we want all players to be networking, engaging, sharing and learning. Throughout the conference exciting investment ready businesses in our pipeline are showcased through quickfire pitches, keeping the energy high, and the focus on making deals.

Networking breakouts

ICA is all about building networks and getting deals done. Many of our attendees will have interacted in the lead up to the conference using our Impact Starter platform. But we know how critical the personal element of deal-discussion and relationship building is, so we incorporate timely networking breakout and discussion segments throughout the conference.
