Togo just opened its borders to every African on the continent. No visa. No barriers. Effective immediately.

Effective May 18, 2026, Togo granted visa-free entry to all citizens of African states holding valid national passports, making it one of the few African countries to extend unconditional visa-free access to the entire continent.

As recently as 2025, only around 16 African countries were exempt from Togo's visa requirement, while nationals from 37 others were required to obtain a valid entry visa. That changed overnight.

The announcement also comes as Togo prepares to host the Biashara Afrika 2026 trade summit in Lomé under the AfCFTA framework, reinforcing its positioning as a more open and connected regional hub at the heart of African trade integration.

For investors, this matters beyond the headline. Every country that removes visa barriers lowers the transaction cost of doing business across the continent. It makes it easier to meet partners, scout opportunities, move talent, and close deals. Togo has framed this policy as part of its broader effort to position itself as a regional hub for trade, services, culture, and investment within Africa. That is an investment-grade signal from a government that is thinking at the right scale.

For entrepreneurs and local businesses, Togo's open door is an invitation. A more accessible Lomé means more foot traffic, more business visitors, more trade connections, and more opportunity across every sector from hospitality and logistics to financial services and tech.

Six countries down. The rest of the continent is watching.

At Consult Africa Investment Network, we track every policy shift that changes the investment landscape. This is one of them.

Today marks a milestone that fills us with gratitude and renewed purpose.

Eleven years ago, Consult Africa Investment Network was founded on a simple conviction: Africa’s future will be built through capital, partnership, and shared prosperity.

Over the past decade, we have connected global investors with transformative African projects across infrastructure, healthcare, agriculture, technology, energy, telecommunications, and the creative industries. We have seen ideas become reality, deals transform communities, and African entrepreneurs step into leadership.

What we know today is clear: Africa does not need saving. Africa needs partners.

The talent is here. The opportunities are bankable. The capital is ready. What matters now is strategic connection, trusted facilitation, and belief in the continent’s future.

To the investors, project sponsors, partners, and our dedicated team across Africa, thank you for being part of this journey.

The next chapter of Consult Africa’s story will not be measured by years in business, but by lives transformed, economies strengthened, and futures created.

Here’s to eleven years and to generations of impact ahead.

Tony Elumelu just delivered one of the most direct statements to come out of the Africa Forward Summit in Nairobi. And it deserves a real conversation.

"We should stop this victim mentality. We should be cognisant of the history, our history, but more importantly, we should commit to the future. We should, to a large extent, let the past be. President Macron was not born 100 years ago, this is a new age. And I commit to his commitment to Africa, and I believe he's sincere."

Elumelu chairs Heirs Holdings, Transcorp, and United Bank for Africa, and was chosen by Macron to join the Africa France Impact Coalition aimed at promoting trade between French and African companies. He is not speaking from the sidelines of Africa's economic story. He is one of its central figures.

His message was consistent and clear. Africa needs massive private global capital and should welcome it from any credible source. What young African entrepreneurs need most is electricity, mass transportation, security, and ease of doing business.

This is the perspective that transforms potential into outcomes. An Africa that competes for global capital, welcomes investors on its own terms, and focuses its energy on building rather than grieving is an Africa that wins.

For investors, this kind of clarity from African business leadership matters. It signals an investment environment that is maturing, pragmatic, and focused on the conditions that generate sustainable long-term returns.

€23 billion. 30 heads of state. Nairobi. And Africa brought €9 billion to the table itself.

At the Africa Forward Summit, Macron announced €23 billion in combined investment across energy, agriculture, AI, and maritime sectors. €14 billion from French companies. €9 billion from African investors. 250,000 jobs projected. CMA CGM committed €700 million toward modernising the Port of Mombasa.

For investors, this summit opens up concrete entry points. Energy transition infrastructure now has bilateral institutional backing. African agritech and AI ventures are attracting both French and African capital simultaneously. Port and logistics infrastructure along East Africa's coast is seeing major private sector commitment. And Macron's proposed first-loss guarantee mechanism, if adopted at next month's G7, would structurally reduce the cost of investing in Africa for global private capital, unlocking a pipeline well beyond the €23 billion announced this week.

For local businesses, the downstream opportunity is equally significant. Construction, engineering, logistics, professional services, and digital infrastructure will all see sustained demand as these projects move from pledge to ex*****on.

The commitments are largely private sector pledges, so implementation will matter. But the direction of capital is clear and the entry points are opening now.

At Consult Africa Investment Network, we help our clients get ahead of the pipeline, not behind it.
