Conference

With its strategic location and long stretch of coastline, Mozambique is ideally placed to connect its landlocked neighbours Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi and to increase links with neighbouring South Africa as its major trading partner.  With its strong potential for economic growth and competitiveness on the back of its resource bounty, Mozambique is set to play a pivotal role in intra-African trade and transport. 

As more and more SADC countries ratify and begin implementing the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement, Southern Africa is open for business and ready to transform Mozambique into a regional investment hub!

Transport Evolution Mozambique Forum & Showcase, the only transport event in Mozambique, will once again bring together the full spectrum of transport authorities and industry stakeholders from the public and private sector to engage and collaborate in crucial discussions on how Mozambique and its SADC partners can build the next generation of port, rail and road.

Through presentations, case studies and interactive panel debates, our solutions-focused 2-day programme will unpack concrete examples of strategies for closing the infrastructure gap, addressing topics such as:

• Updates on expansion projects in maritime, rail and road transport in Mozambique
• How effectively are SADC countries implementing AfCFTA, and how does transport infrastructure need to evolve?
• Solutions for achieving regional integration through effective trade corridors
• “Infostructure” at work – specific examples of improving transport efficiencies through digitalisation
• Reducing carbon emissions across transport networks
  Examples of public-private sector collaboration and PPPs
• Update on oil and gas projects in Mozambique, and implications for trade and transport corridors
• Strategies for reducing port inefficiencies and bottlenecks
• Developing sustainable road infrastructure to support economic growth and strengthen supply chains
• Update on rail developments in Mozambique and the region
