From mines to markets – positioning Africa as the world’s mineral partner of choice

  • Africa as the energy partner of choice rather than necessity – how can an egalitarian approach help galvanize increased collaboration throughout the supply chain?

  • What financing instruments can foreign partners provide to supply greater sums of concessional financing and to de-risk private sector investments?

  • What else needs to be done to ensure the continent becomes the global mineral leader, and future-proof its industry?

  • As foreign actors seek alternatives to minimize overreliance, does the continent risk losing its moment?
