About the Summit

The UK–Africa Women in Food & Agribusiness Summit brings together women leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers and industry partners from the United Kingdom and across Africa who are working in food and agriculture.

While women in both regions are building businesses and shaping supply chains, opportunities for them to connect, trade and collaborate remain limited. At the same time, there is clear potential for stronger partnerships across the agrifood sector.

Africa brings growing production capacity, innovation and entrepreneurial energy, while the UK offers global markets, expertise, finance and networks. The Summit was created to help bridge this gap.

Taking place in London on 3–5 June 2026, the Summit provides a platform for women in the UK and across Africa to meet, exchange ideas and build meaningful business relationships.

This year's edition focuses on trade, investment and collaboration across agrifood value chains, creating opportunities for women-led businesses in both regions to explore partnerships, expand markets and work together.

At its heart, the Summit is about shared opportunity and mutual exchange — bringing women from the UK and Africa into the same room to build connections that benefit both sides.
