Batseta Winter Conference 2026

Prepare for a transformative experience as the Batseta Winter Conference returns to the picturesque backdrop of Sun City, uniting key stakeholders from Africa’s retirement fund sector. Under this year’s theme, C°Africa — The Power of One Degree, we’ll explore the extraordinary potential of African pension capital to revolutionize the continent’s growth trajectory.

The Power of One Degree

Historically, discussions about Africa’s growth have often emphasised untapped potential. Now, the tide is changing. Pension capital, founded on the diligent contributions of millions of workers, is poised to act as a cornerstone for sustainable infrastructure, long-term value creation, and inclusive economic prosperity.

This year’s conference is a nexus where trustees, principal officers, policymakers, regulators, asset managers, service providers, and continental partners converge. The focus? Harnessing the collective impact of collaboration, connection, community, and co-investment to advance Africa’s economic landscape.

Inaugural APIX Institute Programme

We are excited to launch the African Asset Owners Platform for Infrastructure Exchange Institute (APIX), a dynamic new programme debuting at our conference. This inaugural initiative will bring together partners from across Africa to exchange insights, learn from one another, and unlock opportunities for future collaboration. Participants will also have the exclusive opportunity to take part in site visits to key infrastructure developments in Johannesburg after the conference.
