2026 Agenda Sessions

Finance for a diversifying economy: How Ecobank is delivering on Simandou 2040's promise

Guinea is entering a new phase of economic acceleration, driven by large-scale mining developments and the broader national ambitions articulated under the Simandou 2040 framework

In this session, Ecobank Guinea shares a market-driven perspective on how investors, mining developers, mining project sponsors, and strategic partners can access and structure opportunities across Guinea’s mining value chain and adjacent sectors, including infrastructure, logistics, energy, and other supporting industries.

Drawing on its on-the-ground presence and regional platform, Ecobank illustrates how capital can be efficiently connected to credible local and cross-border projects, and what investors should consider when navigating market entry, partnerships, and execution in Guinea.


Rather than focusing on policy or programme governance, the discussion will centre on:
• Where bankable opportunities are emerging in Guinea today
• How mining activity is catalysing broader multi-sector growth
• Practical considerations for deploying capital in a complex but high-potential market
• How financial institutions can act as effective bridges between international capital and local execution

This session is designed for investors, financiers, project sponsors, and strategic partners 
seeking actionable insights into Guinea’s evolving investment landscape, informed by 
the Simandou 2040 context but grounded in market realities 

Monday 09 February 15:30 - 17:00 Serengeti Stage (CTICC2 - Level 3)
