West Africa Industrialisation, Manufacturing & Trade Summit & Exhibition (West Africa-IMT)
West Africa Industrialisation, Manufacturing & Trade Summit & Exhibition (West Africa-IMT)
Africa’s abundant natural resources, rapidly growing young population and expansive land mass provide some of the key ingredients for an industrial revolution. However, Africa currently contributes around 2% to global manufacturing value added (UNIDO, 2024).
Heads of State from across the region are prioritising industrialisation for the opportunity to spur rapid economic development.
The inaugural West Africa Industrialisation, Manufacturing & Trade Summit & Exhibition (West Africa-IMT) will unite the industrialisation ecosystem to include energy, finance, infrastructure, manufacturing, raw materials, logistics/ supply chain, technology, trade and security – to accelerate a sustainable industrial revolution for West Africa.
Themed: Accelerating West Africa’s Sustainable Industrial Revolution through Collaboration and Investment for Economic Prosperity, over 3 days, the global gathering will centre on fostering collaboration and attracting investment to drive industrial development for maximum economic impact.
The West Africa-IMT Summit & Exhibition will serve as a catalyst to align regional objectives with global sustainable development goals to achieve a progressive industrial hub for West Africa.
Strategic Summit
As governments across the region have declared industrialisation as a key priority, the Strategic Summit will feature the visions from Heads of Government seeking both public and private partnerships to drive industrial revolution across the region.
Decisive action is at the core of the agenda – providing solutions for sustainable resource valorisation and opening up trade pathways for economic development and prosperity.
