Infrastructure development is as much a national security imperative as it is an economic one. With an annual financing gap exceeding $100 billion, infrastructure investment remains a top priority for African leaders. The ability to align infrastructure investments and harness greater financial resources for enhanced regional impact is a rare and valuable opportunity.  

Beyond the development of strategic infrastructure, the Lobito Corridor is strengthening regional trade routes and creating growth clusters to unlock new investment opportunities that will shape the future of African trade and commerce. This session will discuss progress made from the early stage of this initiative and highlight new investments that will unlock and drive greater economic growth in the region and beyond.
