From strategic investments in ports, logistics, and renewable energy to joint efforts on food security and digital connectivity, cooperation is deepening across key sectors. This session will explore how sovereign wealth funds, private investors, and policymakers are mobilizing capital and expertise to deliver climate-smart, commercially viable projects. It will also highlight the growing role of triangular partnerships with the EU, US, China, and international financial institutions in scaling impact, sharing risk, and shaping a new era of Gulf–Africa collaboration.
