Africa CEO Forum 2026: PAK and KPIZ Showcase Kribi’s Industrial Vision
At Kigali, the Port Authority of Kribi and its subsidiary Kribi Port Industrial Zone present an integrated model combining logistics, industry, and investment.
For the first time at the Africa CEO Forum, the Port Authority of Kribi is participating alongside Kribi Port Industrial Zone. Their joint presence reflects the emergence of an integrated ecosystem where port infrastructure, industrial development, and productive transformation converge to support Africa’s economic sovereignty.
For the first time at the Africa CEO Forum 2026 in Kigali, the Port Authority of Kribi (PAK) is participating alongside its subsidiary, the Kribi Port Industrial Zone (KPIZ).
This joint participation marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Kribi project. Beyond its operational port performance, PAK is now advancing a broader vision in which logistics, industry, and investment are integrated into a single value-creation dynamic.
In just a few years, the Port of Kribi has established itself as a strategic infrastructure supporting Cameroon’s competitiveness. With KPIZ, this trajectory gains a new industrial dimension designed to promote local processing, attract investment, and develop high-value-added industrial supply chains.
PAK and KPIZ’s presence at the Africa CEO Forum goes beyond institutional representation. It reflects a clear ambition: to demonstrate that a modern port can be more than a transit point. It can become a strategic platform where trade flows meet industry, connectivity meets long-term vision, and infrastructure generates broad-based economic impact.
In Kigali, both entities are carrying a shared conviction: Africa’s economic sovereignty will be strengthened through the ability to better connect ports, territories, investment, and productive transformation.
Through this participation, the Port Authority of Kribi and KPIZ reaffirm their ambition to position Kribi as a leading logistics and industrial hub serving Cameroon, Central Africa, and the continent as a whole.
