NORWALK, CT and WASHINGTON, DC – January 6, 2026 – Africa Capital Digest and KRL International today announced the launch of Meridian Africa, an exclusive, five-part webinar series designed to provide institutional and corporate investors with actionable frameworks for deploying capital across the African continent.
Running from January through June 2026, the invitation-only series arrives as Africa’s relationships with global capital markets are undergoing an unprecedented shift centered around three core dynamics: the transition away from DFI-dependent financing, Africa’s superior growth trajectory, and the evolution of risk-management strategies. To analyze these dynamics, Meridian Africa will feature high-level discussions with successful regional investors and executives to decode how to navigate these emerging opportunities and evolving risk-return profiles.
“By combining Africa Capital Digest’s deep market intelligence with KRL International’s strategic advisory expertise, we are providing a roadmap for successful deployment,” said Allan Cunningham, Founder & CEO of Africa Capital Digest. “Attendees will gain the practical foresight needed to navigate a market that is increasingly outperforming stagnating developed economies.”
“KRL sees opportunity in US policy unfolding towards Africa. The Trump Administration is drawing up plans to deploy tens of billions of dollars to build strategic power, transport, and mineral-processing projects across the continent utilizing a whole of government approach including a newly reauthorized Development Finance Corporation and US EXIM with greater flexibility and authorities,” remarked Riva Levinson, KRL’s CEO. “It is our expectation that this series will bring together the missing pieces as we learn from one another.”
