As African economies look to accelerate growth, create jobs and build resilience, industrialisation is returning to the forefront of the development agenda. However, the next phase - Industrialisation 2.0 - will be defined less by policy ambition alone and more by delivery, investability and integration into regional and global value chains.
This event will convene investors, manufacturers, policymakers and infrastructure stakeholders to examine how Africa can scale competitive, sustainable manufacturing ecosystems, supported by investable projects, resilient infrastructure and effective public-private collaboration. The discussion will focus on the practical levers required to move from strategy to execution, turning industrial plans into bankable, operational assets.
Hosted in partnership with Sidara, this session will explore how manufacturing growth can be unlocked through value-chain development, improved project structuring, sustainable delivery models and long-term capital alignment, positioning African markets to capture greater value from both domestic and export-oriented production.
