Our vision

Making smart, sustainable infrastructure the foundation of African development. SMART Sustainable Infrastructure was born from a conviction: the continent’s ecological transition and digital transformation will run through its infrastructure — energy, mobility, cities, water, connectivity.

Our missions

  • Connect public decision-makers, industry, funders, researchers and innovators around concrete projects.
  • Accelerate the emergence of high-impact local solutions, from prototype to deployment.
  • Inspire a new generation of project leaders through the hackathon, CréAfrique and our field programmes.

Our impact

Since the first edition, more than 15 events have brought together 3,500 participants around 250 projects and solutions. The 2027 summit will mark a new milestone: two days of impact, 50 international speakers and a central place given to territories.

FlowUP Consulting

SMART Sustainable Infrastructure is organised by FlowUP Consulting, a Tunisian consulting firm specialising in innovation and sustainable transformation. FlowUP supports companies and institutions in designing and implementing their impact strategies.
