Guinea is seeking to attract international investment across multiple sectors, using its massive Simandou iron ore project as a catalyst for wider economic development.
The government is bringing together investors, policymakers, industry leaders and international economic partners at the Simandou Mining Summit on November 11, 2026, to promote opportunities linked to the project and its wider development agenda.
President Mamadi Doumbouya said Simandou should serve as a gateway to economic transformation beyond mining, with investment opportunities in energy, agriculture, transport, technology, tourism and manufacturing.
He urged international partners to pursue mutually beneficial agreements, stressing that foreign investment should create jobs, support skills development and expand the role of Guinean businesses in the economy.
The summit comes a year after iron ore mining was launched at Simandou. It is part of Guinea’s broader Simandou 2040 programme, which aims to use the country’s mineral resources to drive long-term economic development.
