Inciteful session at GITEX 2026, Anthonia Ifeanyi-Okoro speaks on patient capital, strengthen investment frameworks, and foster partnerships that can deliver resilient infrastructure and long-term economic growth.

At the just-concluded GITEX 2026 Conference, our CEO, Anthonia Ifeanyi-Okoro, joined industry leaders and key stakeholders for an insightful discussion on “Built to Last: Sovereign Wealth, Pensions and the Infrastructure Africa Needs.”

The session explored the critical role of long-term institutional capital, particularly sovereign wealth and pension funds, in financing sustainable infrastructure development across Africa. The discussion highlighted opportunities to unlock patient capital, strengthen investment frameworks, and foster partnerships that can deliver resilient infrastructure and long-term economic growth.

It was a valuable platform for exchanging perspectives on how Africa can better leverage its domestic institutional capital to finance the infrastructure required to support inclusive and sustainable development.
