The Black Cats will wear the name of the organisation on their shirts for at least the next two seasons.
Invest in Africa is a partnership of companies formed to promote African business opportunities.
Sunderland have existing African ties, with a number of the continent's players in their ranks in recent years.
They include Ghanaian trio Asamoah Gyan, John Mensah and Sulley Muntari.
Egypt international Ahmed Elmohamady and last season's club player of the year, Benin midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, are current members of the Black Cats squad.
The club also signed a partnership agreement with Ghanaian side Asante Kotoko last year, which saw them offer practical support and advice in youth coaching to the Kumasi-based club.
"We are very proud to have augmented our relationship with Invest in Africa through this wonderful agreement," Sunderland chairman Ellis Short said.
