Cape Town, South Africa – 18 February 2026: With just two weeks to go, Infrastructure Africa, taking place 2–3 March at the CTICC, Cape Town, arrives at a critical moment for the continent.
Africa faces one of the largest infrastructure funding gaps globally. The African Development Bank estimates the continent requires between US$130–170-billion per year in infrastructure investment, with a financing gap of up to US$100-billion annually. Energy, transport, water and digital infrastructure remain central to unlocking trade, industrialisation and inclusive growth.
In South Africa’s recent State of the Nation Address (SONA), government reaffirmed infrastructure as a cornerstone of economic recovery and long-term growth. The President highlighted over R1-trillion in planned public infrastructure investment over the next three years, alongside a strengthened focus on public–private partnerships, regulatory reform and project preparation to crowd in private capital.
Infrastructure is no longer optional — it is foundational to competitiveness, job creation and regional integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Infrastructure Africa convenes:
- Ministers and government agencies
- Infrastructure Project preparation entities
- Development finance institutions
- Institutional investors and private equity
- EPCs, developers and engineering leaders
The platform is designed to move beyond dialogue and focus on bankable projects, investment pipelines and structured partnerships.
At a time when capital is seeking credible projects and governments are seeking delivery partners, Infrastructure Africa provides the room where those connections are made.
If you are serious about infrastructure development and investment on the continent, Infrastructure Africa is not an event to observe — it is an event to attend.
