Developing successful strategies for development, investment and procurement in transport, energy & water infrastructure
Africa is on a self-improvement drive and this is evident across the continent where limitless opportunities abound in the energy, transport and water supply sectors. Regional communities are using this opportunity to propel Africa’s economic integration forward by encouraging and facilitating infrastructure projects within and between countries. Governments have in turn adopted this agenda and are focusing on funding, procurement methods and growth
IIR’s inaugural Strategic Infrastructure Development Africa conference will tackle these key issues by bringing together the crucial stakeholders in the infrastructure space. Delegates will get a rare opportunity to hear from both the public and the private sectors through keynote speeches and riveting panel discussions.

This event will offer practical solutions to problems faced across the transport,energy and water sectors.
