Interconnected Infrastructure: Unifying Africa’s Transport & Logistics

Africa’s economic potential is immense, but fragmented infrastructure networks continue to hinder cross-border trade, mobility, and investment. This panel will explore how developing coordinated infrastructure projects —across airports, roads, railways, ports, and logistics systems — can serve as a catalyst for deeper regional integration and economic growth. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) depends on the ability to move goods, services, and people efficiently. Our esteemed panelists will discuss how harmonized infrastructure investments can break down physical and economic barriers, foster intra-African trade, and create unified networks that propel the continent forward
