Nedcomoaks Group and Citadel Estates & Utilities have unveiled plans to attract diaspora investment into Africa’s real estate sector through the Invest in Africa Summit 2025.

The announcement was made in a statement on Monday, where the organizers emphasized that the second edition of the summit will serve as a key platform to connect global capital with wealth-building opportunities in Africa’s rapidly growing property market.

Summit Details and Objectives

Scheduled to take place in London on March 15 and Manchester on March 22, 2025, the event will bring together real estate developers, policymakers, mortgage banks, and financial institutions to discuss crucial topics such as:

• Sustainable housing development
• Innovative financing models
• Public-private partnerships (PPPs) in real estate

Empowering the Diaspora Through Real Estate Investment

Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Kennedy Okonkwo, Group Managing Director of Nedcomoaks Group and convener of the summit, highlighted the importance of diaspora involvement in Africa’s economic growth.

“The Invest in Africa Summit is more than just an event; it’s a movement towards economic empowerment and sustainable development,” Okonkwo said.

“By bridging the gap between the diaspora and investment opportunities back home, we are building legacies and reshaping the African investment narrative.”

The summit will feature exclusive networking sessions, panel discussions, and updates on foreign direct investment (FDI)-friendly policies, with real estate developers unveiling new projects and showcasing high-potential investment opportunities.
