Growing connectivity between Africa, Europe and the Middle East is creating new opportunities for energy, infrastructure and industrial development, says SLR Consulting business development director for the Middle East, Andrew Burrow.

Speaking to Engineering News at the Africa Energy Forum in Cape Town, Burrow highlighted increasing investment flows between the regions, including funding from the Middle East into African energy transition and infrastructure projects.

He pointed to countries such as Morocco and Ethiopia as examples of markets attracting growing investment and playing an increasingly important role in regional development.

Burrow said SLR's integrated approach combines technical expertise, strategic advisory services and digital solutions to help clients make informed investment decisions and manage project risks.

He added that consulting firms have an important role to play in ensuring that energy and industrial development projects deliver long-term value, balancing investor requirements with benefits for local communities and supporting sustainable economic growth.
