About

API HOSPITALITY FORUM

Now in its 4th year, the API Summit Hospitality Forum continues to connect senior real estate investors and decision makers to hospitality players across Africa. 

Taking place alongside Africa’s premier real estate investor gathering, The API Summit, the co-located Hospitality Forum delivers real results, leads, funding, and more across Africa. Designed as a focused platform to connect the real estate players (developers, funders & financiers, owners, professionals) to hospitality players (brands, operators & sector). The forum is unique, whereby it connects capital and unlocks opportunities. It’s not another hotel event.

As the leading platform in African real estate, API Events’ 16-year track record across the continent enables us to connect real and proven promoters and market players from across the continent. The API Hospitality Forum connects real domestic capital ( banks, pension funds, insurance, REITs, and funds) to hospitality and tourism leaders, professionals, as well as DFIs, family offices, international funds, and more who are investing in African markets.

As the market continues to evolve, we are pleased to see more liquidity, entrants into various markets across the continent, increasing sophistication, exits, and liquidity, and a growing interest in the sector by traditional players and institutional investors.
