Guinea Development Board director general Namory Camara said his institution supports investors before, during and after their decisions, on the third day of the Simandou Mining Summit in Conakry. The mining summit, which opened on 11 November 2026, brings together partners and decision-makers around investment projects in Guinea, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
Guinea Development Board (GDB) director general Namory Camara said on Friday 13 November that his institution supports investors “before, during and after investment decisions”. He called for sustainable partnerships based in particular on better integration of Guinean and foreign companies, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
Namory Camara also presented skills transfer as an important focus for the GDB and said the credibility of the recently established institution would depend on the quality of services offered to investors, according to Mosaiqueguinee. He stressed that investors are interested in Guinea because of its natural resources and strategic position, with a regional market that he estimates at more than 400 million consumers, including 64 million immediately accessible.
The GDB director general also said that Simandou’s entry into its operational phase and the Simandou 2040 programme are creating opportunities in many sectors. The closed-door deal rooms held during the Simandou Mining Summit made it possible to present projects to investors and learn about the financial amounts they are prepared to mobilise, according to Mosaiqueguinee.
Namory Camara’s statement came on 13 November, the third day of the Simandou Mining Summit, which opened on 11 November. Guinea presents four infrastructure projects to investors, after the opening of the Simandou Mining Summit.
