This private session will feature leading private investors’ perspectives on Africa’s dynamic and rapidly evolving investment landscape. Discussions will focus on the opportunities and challenges shaping investment strategies across the continent, with a particular emphasis on trade and value chains, infrastructure, regulatory environments, demographics, and technology. Against the backdrop of US national security interests and of African countries’ development priorities, we will explore how investors in Africa are succeeding, what role African governments are playing, and how global and local factors influence decision-making.
