Signature talks

  • Leading in the Age of AI

    AI is not floating in the cloud: it needs what is buried in African soil. The opportunity is ownership of mineral value chains, not another turn as a raw material supplier.

    For governments, investors · keynote · All-Africa Leadership Summit, Kigali, 2026

  • Stronger Together: Progress through Partnership

    Critical minerals are the new demand on the block. How Africa positions itself as a player in the value chain, and which partnerships get it there.

    For governments, investors, industry · master of ceremonies · Investing in African Mining Indaba, Cape Town, 2026

  • Future-Proofing Africa Mining

    The future of African mining is not coming: it is already here, and the young generation is doing great things across the continent.

    For governments, investors, industry · keynote · Investing in African Mining Indaba, Cape Town, 2025

  • Investors of Choice

    What kind of investors do communities and countries actually want? Most investors ask for responsibly sourced minerals while paying prices only irresponsible sourcing can meet.

    For governments, investors · panel · EITI and ICGLR regional forum, Lusaka, 2025

  • Gender Voice on Critical Minerals

    The lack of gender-disaggregated data clouds policy makers, investors and financial institutions, while women work all across the value chain: miners, traders, service providers and professionals.

    For governments, investors · presentation · UONGOZI Institute and UNECA regional forum, Addis Ababa, 2026
