The African private capital industry demonstrated resilience in the face of highly volatile macroeconomic conditions. After an outlier year in 2022 marked by a frenzied venture capital investment activity, the industry embarked on a journey towards deal stability and normalcy. In this environment, 2023 emerged as the second strongest year on record in terms of deal volume, surpassing both the average number of deals (264) reported from 2012 to 2022 and the average of 387 deals from 2019 to 2022. Ahead of the upcoming AVCA Conference and VC Summit, we provide insight into Africa’s dealmaking activity by sector according to AVCA’s recently released 2023 African Private Capital Activity Report. Catch up with our team at the conference organised by AVCA - The African Private Capital Association where they’ll share their diverse insights and perspectives on shaping the future of private capital in Africa.
