2026 Agenda Sessions

How can Africa future-proof its strategic corridors amid shifting geopolitics?

Africa’s trade and mineral corridors are central to its integration story, but also vulnerable to global realignments. As partners recalibrate their investment strategies, which corridor models can secure long-term African ownership and sustainability?

Are shorter trade corridors the blueprint to unlocking Africa’s logistics potential?

WHAT IF Africa’s mining, trading, and logistics companies could bypass traditional, congested routes and instead leverage a new network of shorter, smarter trade corridors? Imagine a future where goods move seamlessly across the continent, distances are dramatically reduced, and supply chains become truly agile. 
 
In this session, panellists will discuss how partnerships with authorities and project developers are bringing these solutions to life, and how each new corridor contributes to a diversified approach to infrastructure and logistics across Africa – enabling companies to access markets more effectively and driving growth along key routes.
