After the first congress took place in 2019 in Cape Town, this summit will bring together railway executives, politicians, industry representatives, economists, and digital ecosystems experts, and will offer:

• An event lasting 2 days, for even more business opportunities, inspiration, and networking

• Keynote speeches at the summit, provisionally from AU representatives, African transport and technology ministers, African economists, the European Union, the European Railway Agency and digital ecosystems experts (African start-ups & universities)

• Sponsorships from major industrial global players

• An extremely promising plenary program to expand on the main themes of the event:
  • Africa as the continent of digitalising railways for the future
  • Major challenges for digitalisation
  • African digital ecosystems
  • Designing the digital vision for African railways, focusing on the key projects for the African Agenda 2063 for the railways: infrastructure, telecommunications, mobility, and multimodality
