The 2025 edition of WAMPEX continues its tradition of bringing together industry experts, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to explore the latest developments in the power and mining sectors across the West African region. WAMPEX is the most prominent forum in West Africa for the international mining and power industries. For over 30 years, it has attracted attendees and exhibitors from around the world.
Rural access is fundamental to economic opportunity and social inclusion, yet it remains one of the most overlooked aspects of transport infrastructure. Globally, nearly one billion people still lack reliable all-season road access, limiting their ability to reach markets, schools, and healthcare. The result is predictable: rapid deterioration, seasonal isolation, high transport costs, and increased vulnerability to climate shocks. However, policy and funding discussions are slowly beginning to shift towards emphasizing rural access as an important development priority.
The Adaptation Investment Summit for Africa 2026 (AISA 2026) is a premier Pan-African convening bringing together policymakers, investors, development finance institutions, enterprises, innovators, fund managers, and ecosystem leaders to accelerate climate adaptation finance, enterprise resilience, and sustainable investment across Africa.
Discover how Earth Observation (EO) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the planning and design of climate-resilient roads in developing countries. This webinar will demonstrate how satellite imagery, remote sensing, GIS, and AI-driven route optimization can be used to identify feasible corridors, assess terrain and climate risks, and develop more resilient, cost-effective road alignments. Through real-world case studies and practical examples, participants will gain insight into innovative approaches that improve decision-making, reduce project risks, and support sustainable transport infrastructure development from the earliest planning stages.
