How can African countries leverage the rise of new investors in critical minerals? (part 1)
The first part of this session focuses on how private capital and sovereign stakeholders are shaping Africa’s next generation of mining and infrastructure projects. Drawing on perspectives from global mining leadership, private equity, and government, this discussion will explore how early-stage project development, capital deployment strategies, and policy alignment can unlock value across the project lifecycle.
Panellists will examine what investors look for at the front end of projects, how governments can position assets to attract long-term capital, and where partnerships between private investors and state actors are most effective in accelerating development while managing risk.

How can African countries leverage the rise of new investors in critical minerals? (part 2)
Building on the foundations set in part 1, the second part of the session turns to the role of development finance institutions and structured finance in scaling projects from development into execution. This discussion will focus on how DFIs, state-owned investment vehicles, and advisory institutions can de-risk projects, mobilise blended capital, and support infrastructure and critical minerals development at scale.
Panellists will explore practical financing tools, risk mitigation mechanisms, and the evolving role of development finance in crowding in private capital, particularly in complex jurisdictions and large, capital-intensive projects.
