Africa’s leading real estate gathering, including LandAfrique, with speakers from the continent’s main players, like banks, DFIs, developers, consultants, held its annual summit online last week.
LandAfrique-Real Estate and Infrastructure is a Nigerian real estate developer, well known for its renowned and successful Agbara Industrial Park in OgunState.
This year’s API Summit held online from September 28 to October 2 featured 3-days of premium content, 5-day of networking and an interactive virtual expo.
The API Virtual Summit brought together a high-quality and seamless experience for over 500 investors, developers, banks, DFIs and professionals looking to connect, share ideas and build for post Covid-19 African future.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian-based LandAfricique-Real Estate & Infrastructure, Paulo Cruz, was at the center of the event presenting the industrial and logistics and affordable housing status across the continent for two days, whilst sharing the latest updates and trends of the African property investment sector.

He said LandAfrique embraces a sustainable and affordable integrated urban approach that promotes a balanced work, life, education and leisure concept, integrating reliable utilities, infrastructures and transportation.

The company’s robust approach is to provide 24/7 efficiently managed modern and reliable master-planned urban areas infrastructures, addressing the continent’s traditional power, water, security and telecom challenges.
