Beko Capital Advisory at WCAF IV | Lomé, Togo

Beko Capital Advisory was delighted to attend and sponsor the 4th UK–Francophone West & Central Africa Trade & Investment Forum (WCAF IV), held from 12–13 November and hosted by DMA Invest, with strong support from the UK Government.

This year marked a historic milestone: for the first time, the Summit was held on the African continent, in Lomé, Togo, under the patronage of Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé, H.E. President of the Council. The event welcomed over 1,500 delegates from the public and private sectors, a record turnout. The energy, the deals concluded, and the high-level strategic discussions all reflected the growing momentum in the business relationship between the UK and the West and Central Africa region

A key highlight of the Forum was the renewed Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of Togo and UK Export Finance, reinforcing the UK’s long-term commitment to the region. This renewed MoU expands cooperation in agriculture, transport, energy, and clean water, building on an earlier framework that has already delivered tangible results.

We are honored to share that Beko Capital received the award for “Best in Regional – Non-Bank”, a recognition of our continued commitment to driving innovation, structuring impactful transactions, and supporting investment flows across Africa.

Our CEO, Brice Beumo, also intervened during the Cameroon Country Session, where he outlined how Beko Capital Advisory is contributing to the development of Cameroon’s business landscape, from strengthening capital markets to supporting the next generation of high-growth sectors.

A special thank you to Atam Sandhu, CEO of DMA Invest, and the entire team for delivering an exceptionally well-organized summit and for their continued role in deepening UK–Africa trade and investment ties.

We look forward to turning the momentum of WCAF IV into concrete outcomes that drive sustainable growth for African Continent.
