The challenge

Africa Climate Summit 2023 brought together thousands of global leaders, policymakers, investors, developers, and climate practitioners. The scale, urgency, and complexity of the event required more than logistics. It demanded smart digital systems to enable movement, connection, and informed decision-making in real time.

BBR partnered with the Summit organizers to design and deliver an integrated suite of digital platforms that supported delegate experience, climate investment matchmaking, and AI-powered knowledge access.

The Summit faced multiple high-pressure challenges at once, with a core question at its center: how do you enable clarity, flow, and action at a global scale?

The objective

01

Deliver a seamless, intuitive digital experience for all Summit participants

02

03

Digitize climate investment matchmaking efficiently

04
