Sanlam Investments Renews Title Sponsorship of Africa’s Green Economy Summit (AGES) for 2026

Cape Town, South Africa — Sanlam Investments has reaffirmed its commitment to driving Africa’s sustainable transformation by renewing its Title Sponsorship of the Africa’s Green Economy Summit (AGES) for 2026.

The continued partnership underscores a shared objective between Sanlam Investments and AGES: to connect global capital with Africa’s most impactful green and blue economy projects, accelerating investment into renewable energy, water security, oceans, biodiversity, waste reduction, and climate finance.

Since its inception in 2023, AGES has facilitated over US$8.7 billion in green investments across the continent — convening project developers, financiers, policymakers, and entrepreneurs who are reshaping Africa’s sustainable development landscape.

​“Africa stands at the frontline of climate change and the frontier of opportunity,” said Carl Roothman, CEO of Sanlam Investments. “Our renewed partnership with AGES reflects Sanlam’s commitment to mobilising green finance and enabling innovation that supports Africa’s just transition and inclusive growth.”
​

As a leading asset manager championing impact-driven finance, Sanlam Investments brings extensive experience across renewable energy, blue finance, and circular industries. The firm has co-financed landmark projects such as the Impofu Wind Farm Cluster (1.1 GW) and spearheaded pioneering investments through Climate Fund Managers and its Blue Finance Strategy.

Building on three years of collaboration, Sanlam Investments and AGES will continue to strengthen Africa’s green investment ecosystem — connecting investors with bankable, climate-smart projects that deliver both financial and environmental impact.
