Road to Africa is a pan-African storytelling and research initiative driving the transition toward electrified trade and transport corridors across the continent. It brings together filmmakers, engineers, and innovators to document, connect, and accelerate Africa’s journey toward sustainable mobility. Through real expeditions, data collection, and collaboration with utilities, governments, and private sector partners, the initiative explores how technology, policy, and human ambition can transform how the continent moves, powered by renewable energy and shared vision.

Over the next five years, Road to Africa will map and test key trade corridors. Each expedition serves as both a storytelling platform and a mobile research lab, tracking progress in infrastructure, cross-border cooperation, and e-mobility adoption. The mission began with Road to Addis, the first electric cross-border convoy between Nairobi and Addis Ababa, which set the foundation for what is now a continental effort. On a pathway to the 2030 goals , Road to Africa aims to have documented and supported the electrification of more than 15,000 kilometers of trade routes, turning Africa’s highways into pathways for clean growth and connection.
