With the political will and courage of the current Government and the support it enjoys among the population; with the current global geopolitical situation (competition between the West on the one hand and Russia and China on the other); and with the current human issue of Climate Change and the central role of DRC’s natural resources (rainforest, minerals, etc.) in solving this issue; the conditions are in place for the DRC to regain the leading role in Africa that it played from the 1960s to the mid-1990s; and even to go beyond it.

The Energy Transition depends on commodities. Metallic raw materials, such as cobalt, lithium, copper, etc., are particularly important. These are needed to build photovoltaic systems, Wind Turbines, batteries or electric vehicles (EVs), …
Demand and prices for these types of commodities will increase enormously in the coming years, as part of the Ecological or Energy Transition.
The DRC, as one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources, is also expecting this and therefore organised the ‘DRC-Africa Business Forum’ in 2021, in collaboration with the ‘UN Economic Commission for Africa’, with the main objective of bringing together global high-level stakeholders to engage in dialogue, identify opportunities and facilitate investments to increase Africa’s share in the Battery, EV and Renewable Energy Value Chain.
We (KCM DRC) are opening the doors including for this type of investment, in the DRC.
