Green Minerals, Green Industries: Mobilising Regional Partnerships and Finance to Advance Rights-bas

This industry roundtable will convene senior decision‑makers for a focused, action‑oriented dialogue on the policy, institutional, financial and multi‑stakeholder enablers required to accelerate regional collaboration and mobilise catalytic funding for green industrialisation and critical minerals value chains.
Bringing together ministers, development and commercial financiers, industry leaders, civic actors and technical experts, the roundtable aims to catalyse concrete commitments and partnerships. It builds on recent G20 South Africa discussions to advance priority pillars for strengthening Africa’s bargaining power, including high‑level coordination, scaled investment, aligned industrial policy, and collective action to promote rights‑based, sustainable exploitation of the continent’s mineral endowments.

Unlocking Energy and Mineral Corridors: Financing Infrastructure for Regional Integration

 
This session aims to move beyond the usual high-level dialogues on Africa’s annual infrastructure gaps, towards concrete public and private partnerships that will advance our energy and mineral corridors from planning to financing and construction. The primary purpose is to transform Africa's energy and mineral potential into bankable infrastructure projects that drive regional integration and industrialization. Coordinated investment in the development of these corridors will enable the realisation of the full value of mineral resources, support regional trade and encourage broader economic transformation. The session further examines how public sector initiatives establish the enabling environments necessary to unlock diverse capital flows—including private, blended, and innovative financing—for transnational or cross border mineral infrastructure corridors.
