Engineering
Africa’s Future.
The Engineering in Africa Conference is a high‑level continental convening of engineers, innovators, policymakers, industry leaders, and institutions shaping Africa’s future systems.
Why This Matters — Now.
Africa is entering a defining engineering century.
From infrastructure renewal and energy systems to digital transformation, industrialisation, and climate resilience, the decisions made today will determine whether Africa builds resilient, inclusive, and competitive systems—or remains constrained by inherited limitations.
The Mission
To move beyond fragmented conversations toward coordinated system design, execution, and governance.
One Coherent Journey.
We have designed the three days as a single, cumulative problem-solving arc—moving from the systems we inherited to the ones we must build.
The Systems We Inherit
A rigorous audit of Africa's current infrastructure, policy frameworks, and industrial constraints.
- Infrastructure Audit
- Policy Bottlenecks
The Systems We Build
Designing the new digital, energy, and urban systems that respond to African realities.
- Indigenous Innovation
- Digital Sovereignty
Africa's Engineering Century
Aligning capital, talent, and governance to scale these solutions across the continent.
- Pan-African Scale
- Talent Pipelines
What Makes This
Conference Different.
Engineering Labs (Not Just Panels)
Structured, facilitated system‑design sessions focused on outputs, commitments, and next steps — not talk.
Cross‑Sector (By Design)
Government, industry, academia, startups, and funders work in the same rooms to solve complex problems.
Pipeline‑Driven (Ecosystem Wide)
From secondary school talent to senior decision‑makers, the conference connects the full engineering ecosystem.
Who Belongs
