Roundtables Discussion Part II

Navigating New Maritime Realities

The current crisis in the Red Sea has underlined both the fundamental importance of maritime industries to the global economy, and their potential vulnerability to a less predictable and  more volatile global geopolitical landscape.

It has also put the spotlight on Africa, raising important questions about the continent’s potential role in global shipping. As the sector adapts to the realities of a more complex and risk-prone world, it is vital to understand the key dynamics that will drive investment into, and the development of Africa’s maritime industry in the coming years.

This session will explore the most important implications for the maritime industry in Africa from a rapidly changing international landscape, as well as the opportunities for investment into the sector, and its capacity to drive regional and global trade.
