The DEVAC INVEST AFRICA projects are structured to facilitate New Business Partnerships in various key sectors across Africa for the Development of the African Continent.

26/10/2026

Capital. Manufacturing. Market Access. Project Delivery.

These are among the issues that will determine which of Africa’s economic zones succeed in attracting investment and building competitive industrial economies.

The DEVAC SEZs - IDZs - Economic Zones SUMMIT 2026 will bring these priorities into focus on 24 - 25 November 2026 at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Johannesburg, through a programme designed to examine both the conditions required for competitive zones and the opportunities to turn industrial potential into viable projects.

A closer look at the programme:

Financing Africa’s Next Generation of SEZs:
Exploring capital mobilisation, blended finance, public-private partnerships and the funding required to develop industrial parks and supporting infrastructure.

Global Supply Chains and Africa’s Manufacturing Opportunity:
Examining supply-chain diversification, changing manufacturing markets and how African economies can strengthen their position in global production networks.

From Zone to Investment: Turning Africa’s SEZ Pipeline into Bankable Industrial Opportunities
Focusing on project preparation, investor requirements, risk allocation and the steps required to move from announced opportunities towards financing and implementation.

These discussions will be complemented by sessions on industrial competitiveness, infrastructure and energy readiness, manufacturing and regional value chains, and agro-processing, bringing together the policy, infrastructure and commercial considerations that influence investment decisions.

Across Africa, economic zones are competing for capital, manufacturers and industrial projects. The difference lies in their ability to offer the infrastructure, financing structures and operating conditions investors require.

Where will Africa's next wave of industrial investment take place?

: 24 – 25 November 2026 at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Johannesburg - South Africa

From manufacturing and automotive production to energy, logistics and agro-processing, economic zones can play an important role in connecting investment with the infrastructure and industrial capacity needed to grow these sectors.

The opportunity is significant. The challenge is turning that potential into commercially viable projects, stronger value chains and lasting economic value.

For investors and businesses, this means looking beyond the availability of industrial land to the factors that influence investment decisions, including reliable infrastructure, access to markets, competitive operating conditions and opportunities to build long-term commercial partnerships.

This is the conversation behind the DEVAC SEZs - IDZs - Economic Zones SUMMIT 2026.

Taking place on 24 - 25 November 2026 at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Johannesburg - South Africa, the Summit will bring together stakeholders across government, investment, infrastructure and industry to examine the opportunities and practical considerations shaping Africa’s economic zones.

As regional trade expands and supply chains evolve, the ability to attract investment, strengthen local production and connect industrial activity to wider African markets is becoming increasingly important.

Where do the opportunities lie, and what will it take to unlock them?

Be part of the discussions on investment, industrial development and the commercial opportunities emerging across Africa’s economic zones.

Investment does not follow potential alone. It follows opportunity, competitiveness and the confidence that projects can be delivered.

Addressing these priorities, the DEVAC SEZs - IDZs - Economic Zones SUMMIT 2026 returns on 24 – 25 November 2026 at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing together stakeholders involved in the development, financing and performance of Africa’s economic zones.

For Africa’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Industrial Development Zones (IDZs) and other industrial hubs, the challenge extends beyond establishing designated areas for industrial activity. Their ability to attract capital, support manufacturing and generate sustainable economic value depends on enabling infrastructure, reliable energy, efficient logistics, effective regulatory frameworks and commercially viable opportunities.

The question is no longer simply where economic zones are being developed, but what will make them competitive enough to attract and retain investment.

This is an important consideration for governments, zone authorities, investors, development finance institutions and businesses seeking to participate in Africa’s industrial expansion.

Key areas requiring attention include:

Investor Confidence: What conditions are needed to convert investor interest into firm commitments and viable projects?

Infrastructure & Connectivity: How can energy, transport, logistics and essential services support competitive industrial operations?

Industrial Investment: Where are the opportunities to expand manufacturing, automotive production, agro-processing and value-added activities?

Ex*****on & Performance: What must change to accelerate implementation, strengthen industrial value chains and improve economic outcomes?

As global supply chains evolve and opportunities under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) continue to develop, competitive economic zones have an important role to play in attracting investment, strengthening regional production and connecting African businesses to wider markets.

Africa’s industrial future will be determined by the investments made, the infrastructure delivered, and the economic zones developed to support long-term industrial growth.

Across the continent, Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Industrial Development Zones (IDZs) and integrated economic hubs are creating opportunities to attract investment, expand manufacturing capacity, strengthen regional value chains and position Africa as a more competitive global trade and industrial destination.

The challenge is turning these ambitions into investment-ready projects, competitive industrial locations and measurable economic outcomes.

The DEVAC SEZs - IDZs - Economic Zones SUMMIT 2026 brings together the stakeholders working across this agenda, including policymakers, zone authorities, investors, development finance institutions, infrastructure providers and industry leaders.

What Will the Discussions Focus On?

Infrastructure & Energy for Industrial Growth: examining the infrastructure, reliable energy supply and enabling services required to develop competitive economic zones.

Manufacturing, Automotive & Industrial Investment: exploring industrial expansion, localisation, manufacturing capacity and opportunities to strengthen Africa’s industrial base.

Agri-Industrial Development & Value Addition: considering investment in agro-processing, agricultural value chains and the development of higher-value industrial activities.

Investment, Implementation & Economic Zone Performance: addressing the policies, partnerships, infrastructure and project delivery requirements needed to translate economic zone potential into tangible results.

From Industrial Ambition to Investment and Delivery

As global supply chains evolve and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) creates opportunities for regional trade, economic zones have an important role to play in attracting capital, connecting industries and strengthening Africa’s position in global markets.

The focus must extend beyond establishing zones to ensuring they are supported by the right infrastructure, credible investment opportunities, effective policy frameworks and commercially viable industrial activities.

Taking place on 24 – 25 November 2026 at the Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel in Johannesburg - South Africa, the Summit provides a platform for stakeholders to examine these priorities, exchange perspectives and explore opportunities for collaboration across Africa’s economic zones.
