The ongoing rehabilitation of the N4 Corridor, a key regional trade artery connecting the Port of Maputo to South Africa, is drawing growing interest from international investors. The project will take centre stage at the upcoming Transport Evolution Africa Forum and Expo 2025, scheduled for 17–19 June in Johannesburg.

Widely regarded as a strategic transport corridor, the N4 is a successful example of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in Africa. Its modernisation reflects Mozambique’s rising appeal as a destination for infrastructure investment, particularly in the logistics and transport sectors.

According to the African Transport Industry Insights 2025, compiled by Moore Africa Advisory, Africa’s transport sector is forecast to grow by 6% to 8% annually until 2040, driven by over $150 billion (9.49 trillion meticals) in annual investments. Flagship projects like the N4 demonstrate the effectiveness of collaborative funding models in meeting Africa’s urgent infrastructure needs.

The Transport Evolution Africa 2025 event will also spotlight other pioneering initiatives, including the PPP model at the Port of Maputo, recognised as a benchmark in blended financing for sustainable infrastructure development. This model aligns with broader climate goals and highlights the role of the private sector in achieving them.

“Mozambique is becoming an attractive destination for logistics infrastructure investment, thanks to private sector dynamism and strengthened public governance,” said Josh Low, Vice President of dmg events, organisers of the forum.

The event is expected to attract more than 5,000 stakeholders, including policymakers, investors, engineers, and digital solution providers. Key topics will include investment-ready projects, innovative PPP frameworks, and the role of digitalisation in transforming Africa’s transport networks.

With momentum building, the N4 Corridor is poised to become a model for regional connectivity and investment-driven infrastructure growth in Africa.
