GUBA Enterprise marked the opening of April 2026 with a high-impact presence at the inaugural Africa Real Estate Festival (AREF 2026), held on 18 and 19 April at the Palms Convention Centre in Accra. The landmark festival brought together developers, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders from across the continent to explore the future of real estate, innovation, and investment in Africa.
The festival positioned itself as a defining moment for the African property sector, convening the voices and capital needed to shape how the continent builds, finances, and develops its urban and commercial landscape in the years ahead.
A Fireside Chat That Sparked Real Conversation
At the heart of GUBA Enterprise’s participation was a fireside chat moderated by Lady Dentaa Amoateng MBE, President and CEO of GUBA Enterprise, featuring two compelling guests: Michael Leech, Founder and CEO of BridgeTrust Partners and former White House Chief Diversity Officer, and Dr. Angelique Leech, entrepreneur, author, and leadership advocate.
Together, the three explored the themes of leadership, faith, purpose, and wealth creation, with particular focus on the role of diaspora investment in Africa’s rapidly growing real estate sector. The conversation moved well beyond the transactional, touching on the deeper motivations that drive diaspora investors to look homeward, and what sustainable, purpose-led development can look like when global expertise meets continental opportunity.
Connecting Global Expertise to African Investment
The session generated meaningful dialogue among attendees on cross-border investment, sustainable development, and how the African diaspora can play a more active and structured role in shaping the continent’s property landscape, not just as buyers, but as developers, partners, and long-term stakeholders.
GUBA Enterprise’s participation in AREF 2026 reinforced its commitment to creating platforms that bring global expertise into direct conversation with investment opportunities across Africa, ensuring that the diaspora is always part of the conversation when the continent’s future is being built.
