African Marketplace (AMP) will return to Dubai from October 10 to 12, 2026, offering African and Caribbean entrepreneurs a platform to expand into international markets, connect with investors and buyers, and strengthen their global presence.
The event, scheduled to hold at the Conrad Hotel, Dubai, is designed to go beyond a traditional trade exhibition by creating practical opportunities for export-ready businesses seeking growth beyond their domestic markets.
Below are six ways AMP Dubai 2026 is expected to create value for African entrepreneurs:
Direct access to global buyers and investors
AMP Dubai was created to bridge the gap between export-ready African brands and international buyers capable of helping businesses scale. Following successful business transactions at the inaugural edition, the 2026 event will feature a curated network of buyers and investors ready to engage exhibitors through face-to-face meetings.
Greater brand visibility
Participation extends beyond securing exhibition space. Selected brands will benefit from editorial features, interviews and promotional campaigns distributed through media partners, providing exposure that reaches well beyond the exhibition venue.
Access to Caribbean markets
This year's edition will further strengthen trade links between Africa and the Caribbean, creating new export opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The initiative is expected to open fresh markets, encourage strategic partnerships and generate demand across new product categories.
A platform for global brand storytelling
AMP Dubai will provide entrepreneurs with an opportunity to showcase the stories behind their businesses, highlighting resilience, innovation and ambition. The platform also connects founders with investors, trade agencies and members of the African diaspora who play influential roles in international business and investment.
Networking with export-focused businesses
The event will bring together some of Africa's leading export-ready brands, enabling entrepreneurs to exchange ideas, build partnerships and learn from experienced founders who have successfully expanded into international markets.
Long-term business value
The benefits of participation are designed to extend beyond the three-day event. Through pre-event publicity, on-site media coverage and post-event features, exhibitors will leave with valuable content, stronger business networks and increased credibility to support future growth.
