Keys to the City 3 is a market-making incubator, accelerator, and mixer designed to advance SDG and ESG-aligned urban development across Africa. Positioned at the nexus of Nigeria’s Independence Month and UN Urban October, this edition highlights the critical interface where nation and city-building meet. The initiative’s core objective is to source, raise, equip, and showcase nation-builders to incubate, derisk, and actualize large-scale urban infrastructure projects that build the essential fabric of the nation. The program operates through a structured three-part journey: Open Call & Vetting: Rigorous screening of high-impact African real estate and infrastructure concepts. Virtual Capacity-Building Workshops: Intensive sessions focused on refining project sustainability, bankability, and execution models. Grand Finale (Pitch Day, Exhibition & Mixer): A high-profile showcase featuring a keynote address by Oba Akintoye Adeoye, 5th President of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN). By converting visionary infrastructure concepts into funder-ready proposals, Keys to the City 3 accelerates sustainable, resilient urban asset development tailored to Africa’s rapidly growing populations.
