2027 Agenda

Brought to you by the World Economic Forum

This session will connect the global conversation at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos 2027 with the realities and choices facing Africa’s mining companies, energy providers and financial institutions. Building on the Davos focus on “The Urgency of the Long Term,” it will explore the implications for infrastructure and energy, growth, geopolitical risk, jobs and broad-based prosperity. 

The session will open with key findings from the Forum’s latest minerals report, before turning to what these global shifts mean in practice for Africa. A panel will explore how changes in mineral demand, industrial policy, financing conditions and energy systems are shaping investment and strategic decisions, and what they mean for Africa’s ability to capture greater value from its mineral resources.
