The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will be the Guest of Honour at the Forum Invest in Senegal 2025 (Fii Senegal), scheduled for October 7–8 at the CICAD, in Diamniadio. Held under the distinguished patronage of His Excellency President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye and organized by the Senegalese Agency for Investment Promotion and Major Works (APIX) (https://InvestInSenegal.sn/), the Fii Senegal whose theme is connecting opportunities, building the future aims to position Dakar as a premier gateway for investment in West Africa. Heads of State and Government, global investors, financial institutions, policy makers, and business leaders are expected at this high-level event to explore new strategic partnerships.

Senegal stands out as a premier investment destination, combining political stability, investor-friendly policies, world-class infrastructure such as the Port of Ndayane and Blaise Diagne International Airport, dynamic special economic zones, and access to a thriving ECOWAS market of 400 million consumers. Senegal's partnership with Saudi Arabia is already yielding tangible results. Saudi ACWA Power is currently developing an $800 million renewable-powered desalination plant in Dakar, alongside new ventures in agriculture, real estate, and logistics. "Senegal is shaping the future of investment in Africa.

Fii Senegal 2025 will serve as a global platform to showcase our ambition and reaffirm our role as a strategic partner for Gulf investors seeking sustainable, high-growth opportunities across the continent," Mr. Bakary Séga Bathily, Director General of APIX highlighted. With Saudi Arabia as Guest of Honour, Senegal is committed to making Fii Senegal 2025 a landmark event—solidifying its position as a trusted destination for international capital and a dynamic gateway to Africa.
