Aftercare Forum 2026

The Road to Riga.

The 2026 Programme.

After Paris, Florence, and Seville we are ready for a year long Aftercare programme that culminates with the flagship Forum in Riga in June 2026.   For the very first time, we have designed a ‘Road to Riga’ with 3 different types of activities to support practitioners in different stages of their FDI Aftercare journey.

Aftercare Forum

This is the main event of the year and the only gathering of this kind. Experts and Practitioners will travel to Riga to join the Forum, learn the latest of the industry and push the frontiers of Aftercare.
Dates:  The Forum takes place in Riga June 3rd to 5th, 2026.
Tentative schedule:
  • Tuesday June 2nd: Welcome drinks in the evening
  • Wednesday June  3rd & Thursday 4th: Both days run from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, plus evening activities.  There will be a session for beginners early morning on Wednesday, as well as breakout sessions and group workshops throughout the 2 days.
  • Friday June 5th: option to join a series of business activities related to the EBRD Annual meeting taking place in Riga.

aftercare webinars

We run a series of online Aftercare Talks throughout the year. They are open to the global community, free or charge and feature experts in the daily practice of Aftercare.  
From account management to talent programmes, strategy to client engagement, the talks unpack a topic each session and provide ongoing support to Aftercare practitioners and policy makers. 
 Scroll down to sign up for our newsletter so that you don’t miss one.

The 3 parts of the ‘Road to Riga’ offer support throughout the year. While the talks offer a friendly and informal setting to unpack a specific topic in Aftercare, the online Masterclass brings structure and deep insight and expertise to help practitioners upgrade their Aftercare work. The Forum is the flagship activity of the year and provides an exclusive opportunity to learn from peers and introduce new thinking intp FDI Aftercare.

Introducing this year's theme:

Theme of the year 2026

Tech-powered Aftercare.

Levering tech to empower foreign investors

How do IPAs use technology, data, and partnerships to work with foreign established investors? How do they build and deliver resilient value chains, green transitions, and talent pipelines  that catapult investors and ignite local growth? How does tech feature in driving long-term investment? We are going to answer those questions at the Forum. 

We are working on the programme; if you want help shape it visit the Get Involved page.
