Voices from Partners 2025

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!

Counder Conference is completely different to other global leadership gatherings by leaning into emerging trends and markets, it is encouraging exploration, new ideas and innovative trusted collaborations. This is exactly what is needed in a world in flux - and helped me gain invaluable insights and connections at the event. I am proud to support the organization of this special conference.

Counder Conference has established itself as a vital convening point in Cape Town — bringing together investors, business leaders, and decision-makers from South Africa and around the world. It fosters a spirit of open exchange, meaningful collaboration, and forward-looking optimism. We view this network as a valuable bridge in our broader efforts to channel capital and innovation into the region, and we are proud to support its continued growth.

Great dialogues - in the conference room, but especially on the side. Counder has customised a unique experience for us. A lot of interesting people. Quality time, that we had over the three days, is really appreciated. The right people. The right places.
