2026 Agenda Sessions

Progress through private sector partnerships: driving economic recovery

South Africa’s economic revival hinges on robust collaboration between the public and private sectors. This panel examines how strategic partnerships can unlock growth, strengthen resilience, and position the economy for long-term competitiveness – highlighting the pivotal role of the private sector, especially mining, in solving systemic challenges and building a resilient, competitive economy for the future. 

Key discussion areas: 
Logistics management and infrastructure recovery 
Private sector involvement has begun to ease the logistics crisis, but what’s next? How can mining continue to drive improvements in rail and port systems as part of a broader recovery strategy? 
Energy transition and transmission capacity 
Partnerships between coal producers, private players, and government are critical to advancing two priorities: the just energy transition and expanding transmission infrastructure. How can these collaborations balance sustainability with economic imperatives? 
Beneficiation and value addition 
Creating an enabling environment for mineral beneficiation is essential to adding value locally and globally. What policies and partnerships will make this possible?

 Red Sea Stage (CTICC1 – Level 1) Africa/Johannesburg

How can Africa close its transmission infrastructure gap to power mining and industrial growth?

Africa’s energy challenge is no longer generation, but the transmission and distribution of electricity. Mining operations, industrial parks, and communities are constrained by the lack of grid connectivity. How can governments, utilities, and the private sector mobilise capital and policy reform to expand transmission capacity?
