Africa's infrastructure gap isn't a lack of good ideas. It's a lack of prepared ones.

AfCEN Deal Rooms closes that gap: real projects, prepared properly, presented to real investors.

Get startedHow it works

Nexa, AfCEN’s matchmaker, suggests who should meet. AfCEN makes every introduction.

Sounds familiar?

Getting a good project in front of the right investor is harder than it should be.

  • “Investors want documents we don’t have.”

    A project sponsor

  • “It’s hard to find projects that are actually ready.”

    An investor

  • “Investors can’t find us.”

    An enterprise

None of this means the idea is weak. It means nobody has prepared it yet.

What the Deal Room is

One place where projects are prepared, assessed and introduced to investors.

AfCEN runs each step, and every result shows where it came from.

  1. Sponsors bring projectsMissing documents are drafted for AfCEN to review.
  2. AfCEN assesses themEach criterion is scored against the project’s own documents.
  3. Investors see what is readyCleared investors see the teaser, ask for more, and AfCEN makes the introduction.

How it works

From a project to a deal, in five steps

  1. A project comes in

    A sponsor submits a project, or AfCEN adds one.

  2. It is prepared

    Missing documents are drafted, then reviewed by AfCEN.

  3. It is assessed with evidence

    Every score points to the project’s own documents.

  4. It meets investors

    Cleared investors see the teaser, ask for more, and AfCEN makes the introduction.

  5. It is followed through

    AfCEN tracks each meeting and next step on the way to a deal.

Why it’s different

Not another listing site.

Projects arrive prepared and assessed, and AfCEN stays with each one on the way to a deal.

  1. One NDA

    One NDA with AfCEN covers your access across projects, not one per project.

  2. Every score backed by evidence

    Each score cites the document it came from, so you can check it.

  3. Prepared, not just listed

    Missing documents are drafted and reviewed before a project reaches investors.

  4. Every introduction followed up

    AfCEN tracks each meeting and next step after an introduction.

Your information

Your information stays yours.

Run by Africa Climate and Energy NexusWest Africa Integration & Investment Summit 2026In partnership with WAIIS 2026

  1. Nothing public without approval. A project’s public teaser, its text and its pictures, appears only after a named AfCEN person approves it.

  2. Detail only under NDA. Anything beyond the teaser goes only to investors who have passed KYC and AML checks and signed the NDA.

  3. Documents with a recorded approval. A project’s documents reach an investor only with an approval recorded in the Deal Room.

  4. Every access recorded. Each access AfCEN gives is kept in the audit log, with who approved it and when.

Questions

What people ask before they register

Who can see my project?

Everyone can see its Tier 1 teaser once AfCEN approves it. More detail goes only to investors who have passed KYC and AML checks and signed the NDA, and documents only with a recorded approval.

Do I sign an NDA for every project?

No. One NDA with AfCEN covers your access across projects.

What happens after I register?

AfCEN reviews your registration. Investors complete KYC and AML checks, and project sponsors are approved before they join.

Who runs the Deal Room?

Africa Climate and Energy Nexus (AfCEN), in partnership with the West Africa Integration & Investment Summit 2026.

Can I use it in French?
