6TH ANNUAL MEETING
AHRIFF 2026 —
the sixth Forum
Building on the best-attended AHRIFF meeting to date. The 2026 programme is being shaped around what delegates asked for: innovative financing models, an innovation scaling fund, and coordination between entrepreneurship programmes.
DATES
19 - 21 October 2026

South Africa
ATTENDANCE
By invitation
FORMAT
In person
WHAT TO EXPECT
Three days built to produce commitments
AHRIFF is not a conference of presentations. The format mixes plenary talks, panel discussions, 1:1 interviews and pre-recorded contributions with call-to-action sessions in which funders are asked to converge on a specific, named next step.
What you leave with
In 2025, 100% of delegates made new potential partnership connections and 96% of organisations said they would attend again. Every edition closes with a narrative report and named next steps.
Getting on the list
Attendance is by invitation from the organising committee.
