The Pre-eminent Global Gathering On West Africa's Industrial Revolution
The Pre-eminent Global Gathering On West Africa's Industrial Revolution
The Inaugural West Africa Industrialisation, Manufacturing & Trade Summit & Exhibition themed “Accelerating West Africa’s Sustainable Industrial Revolution through Investment and Collaboration for Economic Prosperity”, will convene regional and international governments, regulators, manufacturers, financiers, energy and technology solution providers to engage and form partnerships to actualise the region’s industrialisation objectives.
Africa’s contribution to the global GDP stands at 3%, contributing only 2% to the world's manufacturing value added (UNIDO, 2024). Resource-rich nations with economies based on the export of commodities are only able to capture a maximum of 30% of its value. A shift in strategy to product valorisation and export can provide results of over ten times the original value.
Through effective reforms and the right policy measures, nations within the region are set to attract investors and create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.
Heads of State across West Africa have set industrialisation as the key priority, acknowledging it as the key catalyst for economic transformation and an avenue to improve the socioeconomic state of its citizens.
