Overview

The DRC Private Sector Dialogue, Investing in the Heart of Africa will bring together the most influential companies and stakeholders from finance, technology, and infrastructure—three critical sectors driving investment and development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Hosted at the prestigious HILTON Kinshasa, it will serve as a platform to foster meaningful exchanges of ideas and strategies to unlock the country’s economic potential.

Through dynamic roundtable discussions, distinguished local and international speakers from the private sector will share key insights. Participants will explore the vast opportunities within the country, address challenges, and propose actionable solutions to navigate the investment landscape in the DRC. This collaborative forum will provide attendees with a holistic understanding of the current state of finance, technology, and infrastructure in the DRC, uncovering future trends and identifying strategic steps needed to drive sustainable growth and development in the region. Attending these events provides exclusive access to insights from decision-makers at leading companies driving the economic transformation.

Panel Discussion 1: Bridging Gaps: Project Financing and Digital Innovation for Financial Inclusion

A robust financial system is essential for connecting key players in any dynamic market. The discussion on the financial sector in the DRC will cover steps taken to provide banking services to the entire population, digital developments that facilitate transactions, and services offered to investors for securely placing and moving funds into the most profitable sectors. Additionally, the panel will explore the necessary measures to address challenges in local financing for both small and large projects, particularly those aimed at developing infrastructure and other critical sectors that drive economic growth.

Panel Discussion 2: Building the Future: The Critical Role of Infrastructure & Unlocking EESG Potential

This panel will examine the pivotal role of a robust financial system in driving infrastructure development—a critical foundation for the growth of key sectors such as energy, mining, agriculture, real estate, telecoms, and more in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Featuring speakers from the local economy, the discussion will provide valuable insights and successful business cases that highlight the opportunities and potential of investing in the DRC.

A key focus will be the integration of EESG principles (Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance) to ensure sustainable and responsible investment practices aligned with the DRC’s long-term development goals. Panelists will explore the vast opportunities within these sectors, emphasizing the DRC’s potential to serve as a catalyst for economic progress in the entire region. They will also address challenges and barriers that need to be overcome. By fostering an open and forward-thinking dialogue, the panel aims to outline actionable strategies for building a strong foundation for investment and achieving sustainable, inclusive, and long-term economic transformation in the DRC.
