Dakar, Senegal – Senegal is preparing to welcome the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as Guest of Honour at the Forum Invest in Senegal 2025 (Fii Senegal), taking place October 7–8 at the CICAD conference center in Diamniadio. The event, held under the patronage of His Excellency President Bassirou Diomaye Diakhar Faye and organized by the Senegalese Agency for Investment Promotion and Major Works (APIX), will run under the theme “Connecting Opportunities, Building the Future.”
Fii Senegal 2025 aims to position Dakar as a premier gateway for investment in West Africa. The forum will bring together heads of state and government, global investors, financial institutions, policy makers, and business leaders to explore new partnerships across key sectors.
Senegal is widely recognized as a rising investment destination, offering political stability, investor-friendly reforms, world-class infrastructure such as the Port of Ndayane and Blaise Diagne International Airport, as well as special economic zones with access to the ECOWAS market of 400 million consumers.
The strategic partnership between Senegal and Saudi Arabia is already bearing fruit. Saudi firm ACWA Power is investing $800 million in a renewable-powered desalination plant in Dakar, alongside new ventures in agriculture, real estate, and logistics.
“Senegal is shaping the future of investment in Africa. Fii Senegal 2025 will serve as a global platform to showcase our ambition and reaffirm our role as a strategic partner for Gulf investors seeking sustainable, high-growth opportunities across the continent,” said Mr. Bakary Séga Bathily, Director General of APIX.
With Saudi Arabia as Guest of Honour, Senegal intends to make Fii Senegal 2025 a landmark event, reinforcing its position as a trusted destination for international capital and a dynamic hub for Africa’s economic future.
