GTR Africa London London

GTR Africa London is a renowned industry conference and networking platform that has established itself as a key forum for discussions on trade, export finance, and infrastructure development with a focus on Africa. It is organized by Global Trade Review (GTR), an independent media and events company active internationally since 2002 and recognized as a leading authority in global trade and supply chain finance.

Each year, the African and international trade community gathers at the modern Broadgate Business Centre in the heart of London. The UK capital serves not only as a gateway to global financial markets but also as a strategic meeting point for investors, financial institutions, government representatives, businesses, and service providers with an interest in Africa’s economic future. The event is part of a global series organized by GTR, held regularly in major trade hubs around the world.

The conference focuses on current economic and political developments shaping trade with and within Africa. Topics include emerging financing models, regional trade initiatives, and strategies to strengthen local banks and supply chains. The event also examines structural conditions and offers practical, solution-oriented approaches for companies and financial institutions to implement sustainable and effective trade strategies.

A key emphasis is placed on promoting regional value creation, expanding export capacities, and financing infrastructure projects. The aim is not merely to discuss theoretical frameworks but to present actionable concepts, services, and strategies relevant to the success of African markets.

Participants represent a broad cross-section of sectors, including banking, insurance, commodity trading, logistics, technology, and infrastructure development, as well as public-sector and multilateral institutions. GTR Africa London primarily attracts senior decision-makers from business, finance, and politics who are seeking innovative solutions for sustainable growth and fair trade across the African continent.

With its depth of content, practical orientation, and international audience, GTR Africa London is much more than a trade fair – it serves as both a think tank and a platform for forward-looking trade relations.

The venue, located near Liverpool Street Station, offers modern conference facilities, excellent infrastructure, and convenient transport links. For two days each year, London becomes a vibrant hub for African trade dialogue and global partnerships.

The GTR Africa London will take place on Thursday, 12. November 2026 in London.
