01
Present the opportunities
Six priority sectors and more than 50 projects appraised by API-Mali are presented in plenary, in panels and in the online portfolio, each with its location, funding sought and stage of development.
Purpose
The Forum
For two days, Forum Mali Kura brings together investors, project owners, public institutions and sector experts around a single purpose: turning interest in Mali into documented investment decisions. The programme, the project portfolio and the matchmaking system are built for that.
Objectives
What the forum must deliver
Four operational objectives shape the 2026 edition and determine how both the programme and the digital platform are organised.
What the forum must deliver
02
Generate qualified meetings
The matchmaking system is sized for 400 business meetings over the two days, in 15 dedicated rooms, allocated on the basis of an explainable compatibility score.
03
Open the public-private dialogue
B2G meetings put ministries and public agencies in front of investors on public-private partnerships, concessions and public contracts.
04
Document the outcomes
After each meeting, both parties record the investment intent and the agreed next step. Those records feed the report published by API-Mali once the forum has closed.
