Overview
During the 2025 African Diaspora Investment Symposium (ADIS25), we convened over 300 changemakers, leaders, and visionaries from across the African continent and the diaspora to explore bold ideas and practical solutions around Investment & Infrastructure, Beyond Remittances & the Power of the Diaspora, Health, Science & Technology, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Narrative Shift, and Community & Collaboration.
To continue the conversation, we now invite you to join us for a special edition of our Impact & Innovation Forums: From Dialogue to Impact: Next Steps After ADIS25.
This gathering offers an opportunity to reflect, reconnect, and mobilize around the key outcomes and recommendations that emerged from ADIS25. It’s a space to revisit the themes we co-created, to hear where energy and commitment are already taking shape, and to co-design what comes next.
Whether you attended ADIS25 or are engaging with its ideas for the first time, this gathering will provide valuable context, connection, and clarity. We will share the official ADIS25 Summary & Action Report, highlight tangible pathways for continued engagement, and spotlight opportunities to collaborate across sectors and borders. Most importantly, this forum ensures that our shared vision doesn’t end with a symposium – it evolves into lasting impact driven by community, strategy, and sustained commitment.
Event Objectives
- Gain Insight into Tangible Outcomes from ADIS25: Get an inside look at the key themes, bold ideas, and recommended action areas from the ADIS25 Summary & Action Report. Learn about the early wins already underway—and explore how you or your organization can participate.
- Contribute Your Voice, Progress, and Vision: Share your own insights, takeaways, and early outcomes—whether inspired by ADIS25 or rooted in your ongoing work. Engage in facilitated dialogue to connect ideas, identify synergies, and co-create next steps with fellow changemakers.
- Explore Pathways for Action and Collaboration: Discover concrete ways to plug into ADN programs such as the African Diaspora Innovation Fund (AfDIF), entrepreneurship initiatives, and cross-sector partnerships that are mobilizing now.
- Strengthen the Movement for Diaspora-Led Impact: Join a committed community of leaders, innovators, and allies working to move beyond remittances toward transformational investments. This forum is not just about what was said at ADIS—it’s about what we’re doing next, together.
