Learn About The Organizers
Liberia Festival 2025 (LIBFEST), in collaboration with Bentley Kantor & Company and the National Investment Commission of Liberia (NIC), is proud to present the Liberia Investment Summit, a one-day event scheduled to take place during LIBFEST 2025 in Liberia. The one-day investment summit will be a pivotal platform for promoting investment opportunities and driving economic growth. Our goal is for this not to be just another talking shop but an avenue for meaningful and assertive engagement through collaboration and partnership.
This summit transcends conventional summits—it acts as a channel for advancing investor engagement, including institutional capital providers and lenders. The Summit is a call to action, bringing together visionary leaders from Liberia, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States who share a unified ambition to enhance Liberia's business environment, help rebuild Liberia’s productive capacity, and invest in the country.
Attend this summit to promote economic empowerment, stimulate Innovation and Entrepreneurship, support sustainable Development, and network. The summit will focus on Power and Energy, Agribusiness and Solid Minerals, Creative and Entertainment, Healthcare and Technology, Financing, Bilateral Trade Promotion, and Investment Facilitation.
