The first leg of the Summit draws to a close on Friday, the 31 October 2025.
Themed “Connecting Africa, Building the Future” the Summit also explored ways to encourage public-private partnerships (PPP) and new forms of blended financing, especially for cross-border projects that boost regional and economic integration.
The message is clear- innovation, sustainability and resilience in the planning and execution of infrastructure, should be number one.
Thus goes for projects in energy, transport, water, communications and technological innovation.

It is part of the African Union’s Agenda 2063 vision and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reflecting the continent’s determination to consolidate resilient, innovative and inclusive infrastructure.
