Africa Rising: A Strategic Gateway for Investors from the Middle
East, Arab World, and Turkic Nations
Africa is no longer waiting for the world; it is calling to it. With a booming population, vast natural
wealth, and accelerating technological adoption, Africa represents the last great frontier of global
economic expansion.
For visionary investors from the Middle East, the Arab world, and the Turkic world, Africa offers
opportunity and alignment. A shared heritage of trade, diplomacy, and cultural affinity is paving the way
for a new era of South–South cooperation, driven by smart capital and strategic partnerships.
A Common History. A Shared Future.
From the historic Silk Road to modern economic diplomacy, countries of the Turkic world, alongside
Gulf and Arab partners, have long shaped regional prosperity through bold ventures and enduring
alliances. Today, the time has come to extend this ambition to Africa.
The African continent is ready. Its economies are diversifying, its markets are integrating, its youth are
innovating, and its governments are opening up to regional and global partners in unprecedented ways.
Why Africa, and Why Now?
• 1.4 billion people by 2030
• 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land
• The world’s youngest population
• A rising digital economy projected to reach $180B by 2025
• The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is opening a single market of 54
countries
This is not just growth, it’s momentum.
Strategic Investment Opportunities for Gulf and Turkic Investors
1. Food Security & Agribusiness
Investors from Türkiye, the Turkic world, and the Gulf can help meet global food demands by
investing in Africa’s fertile lands and agro-processing infrastructure. Joint ventures in agritech
and logistics can secure supply chains and generate mutual benefits.
2. Renewable Energy
With expertise in solar, wind, and hydro, countries like Turkmenistan and the UAE can lead
Africa’s transition to clean, decentralized energy systems, powering homes, industries, and new
digital economies.3. Infrastructure & Logistics
Africa’s connectivity gap is a multibillion-dollar opportunity, from ports and railways to fiber-
optic highways. Public-private partnerships can accelerate projects while fostering regional
integration.
4. Digital Economy & Fintech
Africa’s mobile-first economy drives e-commerce, fintech, and digital identity growth. Investors
from tech-savvy nations like Türkiye and Qatar can help scale platforms with regional reach and
global potential.
5. Islamic Finance & Halal Economy
With a strong Muslim consumer base, Africa is a fertile ground for Sharia-compliant banking,
halal food production, and ethical investment products, sectors already mastered by many Arab
and Turkic countries.

committed partners.

entrepreneur, or a sovereign fund, Africa offers you space to grow, room to lead, and partners to trust.
