Redefining Partnership: Who gets access  - and on what terms

The senior forum for investors, policymakers and corporate leaders shaping how capital, policy and partnerships move across Africa.

Africa is no longer being positioned within the global economy.

It is actively defining how it engages - and who it engages with.

Africa now holds structural leverage across the systems driving global growth:

• Critical minerals powering the energy transition

• Energy capacity shaping future supply and security

• The world’s fastest-growing workforce and consumer market

• A continent-scale market unlocking new trade and production dynamics

At the same time, global conditions are shifting:

• Trade is fragmenting

• Capital is becoming more selective

• Geopolitical instability is reshaping energy markets, trade routes and investment decisions

• Supply chains are being redrawn

This is playing out across energy, infrastructure, technology, mining, agriculture and beyond.

The result:

Africa has options.
Africa has leverage.
And Africa has choice.

The question is no longer what the world needs from Africa - but who gets access, and on what terms.

This shift is already underway.

And it is being shaped - in real time - by the people in this room.
