Closed Door

Description

Infrastructure – transport, energy, and connectivity – forms the foundation of trade, industrialisation, and economic integration. Ports, logistics corridors, rail, aviation, as well as access to reliable and competitive energy, are essential prerequisites for the development of African economies. This session will bring together investors, infrastructure operators, and public decision-makers to examine how to accelerate the development of strategic corridors linking industrial zones, logistics hubs, and tourist destinations, while ensuring access to appropriate energy and digital infrastructure. Discussions will highlight the partnerships and investment models needed to strengthen connectivity between Africa and Europe and to sustainably support the growth of trade, industry, and tourism.
