History shows that world-class ports become truly transformative when industries grow around them. For example, the industrial ecosystems surrounding Jebel Ali Port UAE, Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA), which was established in 1985. Today, it hosts 11,000+ companies from over 150 countries, including more than 100 Fortune Global 500 companies. Jurong Port (Singapore) was planned as an industrial estate in the 1960's. Before, it was largely swampland, mangroves, forests, plantations, and fishing villages. By 1970, the port had already surpassed 1 million tonnes of cargo, prompting rapid expansion with additional deep-water berths and warehouses.

Will your next investment be where Africa's next industrial hub is taking shape?
