Speaking on a panel titled “Family Fortunes: Powering 10x in Africa,” Kayode Akindele, Managing Partner at Coronation Capital Limited and Senior Adviser at Tengen Family Office, addressed the critical need for local capital mobilisation.
He said, “There’s been an overdependence on developmental money that isn’t sustainable. If you want to set the agenda and ensure long-term progress, African entities need to fund African priorities. Family offices, in particular, must become strategic allocators, not just silent participants.”
Akindele underscored a growing sentiment within Africa’s investment community that meaningful transformation requires not just external support but deeply rooted, locally driven capital strategies.
Similarly, Adebayo Adewolu, CEO of Trium, spoke on the importance of context-specific investment vehicles steered by African institutions. “Africa needs capital that understands its rhythm — patient, strategic, and committed,” he said.

“AVCA creates a space where investment vision meets local insight. As a member of the Coronation Group, Trium is proud to sponsor this platform, not just as a participant, but as a builder of tailored capital solutions for African ambitions.”
This year’s conference tackled vital themes including climate-smart investing, infrastructure financing, and the expanding influence of family offices in Africa’s growth story. With 21 years of convening power, the AVCA Conference remains Africa’s premier private capital forum from Cairo to Casablanca and Johannesburg to Dakar bringing together decision-makers under one goal: expanding Africa’s access to and control over capital.
