Great Lakes Corridor Summit

Connecting Ports, Corridors and Markets for Africa’s Future

Le Great Lakes Corridors Summit (GLCS) 2026 is a premier international platform dedicated to advancing port connectivity, logistics infrastructure and regional economic integration across the Great Lakes Region and beyond.

Bringing together government leaders, investors, development finance institutions, port authorities, logistics operators and infrastructure developers, the Summit serves as a catalyst for strategic dialogue, investment promotion and regional cooperation.

As Africa accelerates its economic transformation and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), efficient transport corridors and modern logistics networks have become essential drivers of competitiveness, trade and sustainable growth.

Over three days of high-level discussions, investment forums, business matchmaking sessions and project showcases, participants will explore innovative solutions, emerging opportunities and transformative partnerships that will shape the future of regional connectivity.
