Africa’s industrial growth story is accelerating — but water may be its most overlooked constraint.
From mining and manufacturing to agro-processing and urban expansion, water availability, reliability, and governance increasingly determine which projects scale and which stall. Yet water is still too often treated as a utility issue rather than core economic infrastructure.
Hosted in partnership with Mitrelli, this session brings together industry, investors, and policymakers to examine how water systems can enable — rather than limit — Africa’s industrial future.
