Brazzaville to host the 10th annual TROPICS SUMMIT & COUNTRIES SHOWCASE, November 17-21, 2026

Brazzaville, Republic of Congo — [TROPICS MEDIA GROUP on September 22nd, 2026] The Tropics Summit & Countries Showcase announces that its 10th edition will be held in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, from November 17 to 21, 2026, under the theme “Activating Industrial Corridors & Intercontinental Cooperation.”

This choice follows directly from the position expressed by Tropics Group of Companies: that of a pan-African conglomerate that places unity, human dignity and cooperation among nations at the foundation of its action. Brazzaville is not a destination of circumstance: it is a destination that embodies, through its history and its present, the values the Summit defends.

Congo is also no stranger to the Tropics Summit: a first edition was already held there in 2023, alongside the nine editions organized since the Summit’s creation, notably in Cabo Verde in 2022, a partnership officially validated by the Cabo Verdean Government since that date. This tenth edition builds on that experience and on the relationship of trust already established with Congolese institutions.

This announcement also comes at a pivotal moment for the country: the Summit precedes by just six weeks the official opening of the Republic of Congo’s borders, announced by the Head of State for January 1, 2027. Brazzaville, designated a UNESCO Creative City since 2013, a first for Central Africa, thus has a unique window to position itself before the full range of the Summit’s international delegations and partners.

“We chose Brazzaville because this edition had to embody what we stand for: cooperation over division, dignity over indifference, and a continent that builds bridges rather than walls,” said Venicia Guinot, Director of Institutional Communications at Tropics Summit & Countries Showcase. “Congo gives us concrete ground to turn these values into tangible economic solutions.”

This edition will feature five plenary framing sessions and seven sector-focused intercontinental side events, bringing together ministries, investors, pan-African financial institutions and startup ecosystems around the Summit’s signature mechanism: the dealroom, tracked for twelve months for every deal concluded.
