Africa is on the cusp of a major transformation, fuelled by rapid urbanisation, economic shifts, and a young, fast-growing population. By 2050, the continent will be home to one in four people globally, placing immense pressure on existing infrastructure systems while opening the door to bold new development pathways.
From transport and energy to water and digital connectivity, the need for resilient, future-proof infrastructure has never been greater. Yet the challenges are complex, spanning funding gaps, outdated models, climate risks, and institutional capacity. Navigating these requires a fresh approach rooted in innovation, collaboration, and long-term thinking.
As international partners and regional players look to unlock Africa’s full potential, sustainable infrastructure is emerging as a cornerstone of inclusive growth. The continent has a unique opportunity not only to address critical needs, but to lead the way in building systems that are cleaner, smarter, and more responsive to people’s lives.
In partnership with Nedbank, this event will convene key stakeholders to explore practical strategies and investment solutions for driving sustainable infrastructure across Africa. Join us to shape the future of development and be part of the conversation about what it takes to build for the next generation.
