Online Summit

This unique online summit for port and harbor operators, as well as service and technology providers, focuses on African ports, aligning investment opportunities with operations. 
The event was initiated by a long-time business partner, and despite having little time to prepare, the EITEP Institute developed the concept and executed it with success. EITEP not only secured high-profile speakers from intergovernmental institutions but also attracted a large number of participants. 

Online Conference

Infrastructure Development Africa

The IDA platform, developed and organized by the EITEP Institute and African partners, was a multi-faceted initiative aimed at promoting, enabling, and enhancing infrastructure development in Africa, leveraging the expertise of European and international companies. A key component of this platform was the "Infrastructure Development Africa (IDA)" Summit, an international event held online (due to COVID-19, originally planned for Tunisia).
Despite its initial success, the platform was eventually dissolved due to shifting business priorities on both sides.

Conference & Exhibition

Pipe and Sewer Conference

The EITEP Institute initiated the PASC (Pipeline and Sewer Conference) to address the pressing issues of poorly constructed and inefficiently operated urban pipe and sewer networks, which often result in significant leakage. Launched in 2015 as a parallel event to the Pipeline Technology Conference (ptc), PASC successfully tackled these challenges and was fully integrated into the ptc agenda in 2019.

Conference & Exhibition

Infrastructure North Africa

The international “Infrastructure North Africa” (INA) conference was held under the patronage of the Tunisian Chief of Government and supported by all relevant infrastructure authorities.
