Voices from Partners 2025

Florian G. Schauenburg

This conference felt more like a family than a typical event. The quality of attendees—top investors, industry leaders, and innovators—made every conversation meaningful.
Africa was a key focus for us, and the depth of discussions was unmatched. But it went beyond that—private equity, industrial tech, and alternative assets were explored in ways that sparked real opportunities. The curated format, high-caliber connections, and intimate setting made this a standout experience. This wasn’t just networking—it was building lasting relationships.
We will partner again!
