The fifth AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF) will be held in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis from July 29-31, 2026, at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort.
Hosted by the Afreximbank and the St. Kitts and Nevis government under the overarching theme, ‘Shared Roots. New Routes: Creating Pathways for Enterprise and Innovation’, the business forum is designed in part to offer solutions to address issues that affect African/Caribbean economies, as well as to drive intra-African trade and investment flows between the two regions.
The three-day programme will include high-level plenaries, targeted business-to-business (B2B) meetings, an exhibition showcasing investment opportunities and side events focused on key sectors such as technology, tourism, renewable energy and financial services.
The event is anticipated to attract more than 1,000 attendees, mainly from Africa, the Caribbean and the wider diaspora that will include thought leaders, senior government officials, business leaders, innovators and investors. In addition to thought provoking presentations and panel discussions, there will be several networking opportunities geared toward creating and strengthening bonds among delegates.
