The Tanzania Investment Summit 2026 will be held at the Gran Melia Hotel in Arusha from 1st to 2nd June 2026.

The Summit is a transaction-driven investment platform designed to convene global investors, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and Tanzanian project promoters around the country’s national investment pipeline, targeting expressions of interest and follow-up discussions on at least 8 to 10 priority large-scale projects with a combined target size of approximately USD 100 million.

The Summit will be convened under the theme “Unlocking Bankable Opportunities for Inclusive Growth.”

It is organized by the Tanzania Investment Growth Facility (TIGF) under the patronage of the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF)—official partner of TanzaniaInvest—and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Tanzania, in collaboration with AFSIC, the UK-based investment platform and organizer of one of Africa’s largest investment forums.

The event follows a three-day, deal-focused format that progresses from policy and system alignment on Day 1, to pipeline validation on Day 2, and transaction facilitation on Day 3.

Objectives

The Summit has 5 core objectives:

1) showcase the national investment pipeline across tourism infrastructure, transport, renewable energy, water, blue economy, agro-processing, and sub-national development;

2) facilitate targeted investor convening through structured deal rooms, pitch sessions, and pipeline deep dives;

3) engage government leadership on opportunities for investment climate reform, public-private collaboration, and national investment priorities;

4) position Tanzania internationally as a competitive and reliable destination for climate-aligned, sustainable, and commercially viable investments; and

5) strengthen partnerships with DFIs, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), pension funds, sovereign funds, commercial banks, and impact investors.

Sectors in Focus

The Tanzania Investment Summit 2026 will showcase Tanzania’s national investment pipeline across 7 priority areas: tourism infrastructure, transport, renewable energy, water, blue economy, agro-processing, and sub-national development.

The Summit builds on Tanzania’s engagement at AFSIC 2025 in London, where a USD 282.9 million pipeline of 14 projects was presented to global investors and DFIs, confirming strong investor interest while highlighting the need for institutionally endorsed projects, clear revenue models, and robust transaction structures.
