Description
Join us for a dynamic webinar exploring South Africa’s infrastructure landscape and the UK–South Africa G2G Infrastructure Partnership. Hear from experts at Department for Business and Trade (DBT), the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), and Infrastructure South Africa (ISA), as we spotlight how strategic collaboration and UK expertise are accelerating high-impact projects and driving sustainable development.
Discover how the partnership launched by the Chancellor and South Africa’s Minister for Public Works breaks down barriers, boosts municipal delivery, and positions UK firms for success. Learn how ISA, supported by the UK’s Infrastructure and Projects Authority, is transforming project planning and investment through its Centre of Excellence and adoption of the UK’s Five Case Model.
