Tanzania Investment Forum

  • London England United Kingdom (map)

Convened by the High Commission of the United Republic of Tanzania in the United Kingdom and delivered in partnership with Invest Africa, the Tanzania Investment Forum 2026 will bring together senior government representatives, international investors, development finance institutions and business leaders to explore Tanzania's rapidly expanding investment landscape and the opportunities emerging across its priority growth sectors.

As one of Africa's fastest-growing economies, Tanzania continues to sustain GDP growth of 5–7%, underpinned by economic reforms, political stability and an ambitious Vision 2050 agenda. Hosted by the High Commission, the Forum will provide a platform for investors to engage directly with Tanzanian policymakers and business leaders, gain insight into the country's national investment priorities, and identify opportunities for partnership and capital deployment.

Taking place in London on 8 October 2026, the Forum will welcome a Tanzanian government delegation led by the Prime Minister of the United Republic of Tanzania, Hon. Dr Mwigulu Lameck Nchemba (MP), alongside international investors, development finance institutions and business leaders, all exploring the opportunities shaping Tanzania's next phase of growth.

The programme will provide strategic insights on Tanzania's economic outlook and reform agenda, with discussions focused on the investment framework and sector-focused sessions across the Forum's priority pillars:

  • Critical Minerals and Mining

  • Energy and Renewable Energy

  • Infrastructure, Transport and Logistics

  • Agribusiness and Food Processing

  • Manufacturing and Industrial Development

In addition, the Forum will facilitate targeted business-to-business and business-to-government meetings, designed to accelerate partnerships, support deal origination and connect investors with key Tanzanian decision-makers.

Explore Investment Opportunities. Connect with the Right Partners.
