In addition, the agency will host a dedicated DRC Roundtable on August 7 – an invite-only session for a select group of qualified investors, with applications open for those seeking to participate. The roundtable will provide a high-level platform to unpack emerging opportunities across power generation, grid infrastructure and mining-linked energy supply chains, while offering direct access to senior decision-makers shaping the country’s economic future.

APCSC enters USAEF 2025 on the back of a transformative year marked by strong action and an increasingly proactive approach to investor engagement. In April 2025, the agency signed a protocol with the Governor of Haut-Uélé Province, signaling its intention to support private investment into the region’s vast reserves of diamonds, copper, coltan and cassiterite. By coordinating infrastructure development alongside resource extraction, APCSC is laying the groundwork for an integrated value chain that connects local economies to national and cross-border energy markets.

The agency also played a central role in finalizing the renegotiation of the landmark Sino-Congolese infrastructure agreement in 2024, raising the total investment package from $3.2 billion to $7 billion and affirming the DRC’s 40% stake in key assets such as the Busanga hydroelectric dam. The agency’s leadership has maintained a strong emphasis on oversight and delivery, conducting on-site missions at the SICOMINES mining complex and Busanga power facility to ensure compliance with the renegotiated terms and to elevate standards of performance and accountability.

These moves reflect a broader shift in the DRC’s investment strategy – one rooted in transparency, institutional clarity and the strategic alignment of infrastructure with energy and resource development goals. Also in 2024, APCSC signed a historic agreement with SOCOF, the national fibre operator, to integrate fibre optic deployment into all relevant infrastructure corridors developed under the Sino-Congolese framework. The project aims to establish the digital backbone necessary to support smart energy systems, data connectivity and industrial growth, particularly in remote or resource-rich regions.

At USAEF 2025, APCSC’s participation reflects an open invitation to U.S. and global investors, partners and developers to take part in a new chapter of African energy advancement. With power generation at the center of the DRC’s ambitions – from hydro to solar, grid-scale to off-grid – the agency’s work offers a model for African nations seeking to pair natural resource wealth with long-term energy security and development impact. The DRC Roundtable will offer a rare opportunity to engage directly with the architects of this strategy, assess real-time project pipelines and form part of a collaborative, future-facing vision for investment.

APCSC is proud to announce the opening of its offices in Washington D.C. and Charlotte, North Carolina this year, reflecting its commitment to better serving its valued American investors and partners in the United States of America.
