The Regional Forum format brings governments, borrowers, corporates, DFIs, ECAs, commercial banks, EPCs, SOEs, and institutional investors into direct collaboration to accelerate project pipelines and structure bankable financing solutions across Sub-Saharan Africa.

This year’s session will split into two curated dealmaking roundtables, bringing together ministers and senior market participants to discuss live projects, financing opportunities, sovereign and commercial risk, infrastructure development, energy transition, and cross-border investment across the region.

Designed as interactive forums rather than traditional panel sessions, the roundtables encourage open discussion, networking, and practical collaboration between active market participants.

By 2035, Africa will be home to one-third of the world’s youth and represent the planet’s last major growth engine. Yet the continent faces a paradox: a booming population alongside declining access to jobs, education, energy, and basic services - driving one of the largest internal and external migration waves in modern history.

This session presents a transformative vision: how $2 trillion in blended finance investment can reverse mass migration, regenerate both rural and urban economies, and power inclusive growth through coordinated infrastructure development across energy, water, agriculture, and social services.

As advanced economies enter demographic decline, AI displaces labour, and productivity gaps widen, the world’s long-term stability and prosperity increasingly hinge on Africa’s success. The discussion asks: how can ECAs, DFIs, sovereigns, institutional investors, commercial banks, insurers, and private innovators work together to deploy blended finance at scale, volume, and pace?
