Sports Africa Investment Summit Set To Take Place November 19th to 20th In Lagos

Sport Nigeria LTD/GTE is excited to announce the inaugural Sports Africa Investment Summit (SAIS), set to take place from November 19th to 20th, 2024, at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Momentum continues to build following the official announcement on August 19th, 2024. With participants from across the globe registering to attend, SAIS promises to be a catalyst for sustainable investment in Africa’s sports ecosystem, driving economic growth, social development, and cross-sectoral collaboration.

As Africa’s sports industry emerges as a significant force for achieving sustainable development, the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda highlights sports’ potential in addressing 7 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including empowerment, health, education, and social inclusion.

At SAIS 2024, global stakeholders will explore how to turn this potential into an impactful reality. The summit will focus on key areas such as sports industrialization, community impact, gender inclusion, and regulatory reforms, identifying new opportunities for sustainable development.

Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, Founder and Chairman of APO Group, has confirmed his involvement in the summit. Nicolas will contribute as a panellist, moderator, and esteemed member of the SAIS Advisory Committee. His wealth of experience and deep commitment to advancing sports in Africa will undoubtedly bring a unique perspective to the discussions. “I am thrilled to be involved in the Sports Africa Investment Summit as a panellist, moderator, and member of the SAIS Advisory Committee. This event presents a remarkable opportunity to drive transformative discussions around investment in Africa’s sports industry. By bringing together diverse stakeholders, we are laying the foundation for sustainable growth, economic empowerment, and innovation in the sector. I look forward to contributing to these conversations and helping to shape the future of sports in Africa,” said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard.
