We were delighted to have Claudia Da Conceicao, IFC’s Regional Director for Southern Africa, participate in AMC’s Annual Investor Meeting — our first held in Africa, and in South Africa. Cláudia moderated the opening panel, leading a dynamic discussion on lessons from South Africa’s large-scale businesses and how their growth stories can help mobilize more private capital from global and regional investors toward high-potential opportunities across Southern Africa. #AMC #IFCinAfrica #AIM2025 #PrivateEquity #PrivateCapital #SouthAfrica #EmergingMarkets”
South Africa’s growth story offers valuable lessons for mobilizing private capital and investing at scale across Africa. At AMC’s Annual Investor Meeting in Cape Town, I had the pleasure of moderating the opening panel, “Investing at Scale – South Africa’s Growth Story,” with Antony Ball (Value Capital Partners), Marek Masojada (Boxer Superstores), and Nhlanhla Xulu (Industrial Development Corporation). We explored how South Africa is achieving scale while unlocking frontier opportunities in sectors like digital, services, and renewables—and what the next wave of private investment and job creation could look like. IFC will continue working with global and regional investors to channel more private capital toward high-potential opportunities across Southern Africa—advancing growth, returns, and impact across the region. 📍 Cape Town, South Africa #IFC #AMC #AIM2025 #PrivateEquity #PrivateCapital #SouthAfrica #EmergingMarkets
