PNG to Host First Infrastructure Investment Summit for PNGIW25 in Sydney
25 November 2025
Papua New Guinea is launching a new investment platform with the inaugural PNG Infrastructure Investment Summit, set for 11 December 2025 in Sydney. Designed to attract institutional investors, infrastructure financiers and regional partners, the summit will present major opportunities across telecommunications, transport, energy and defence-related infrastructure.
The summit forms part of PNG Investment Week 2025 and will feature senior representatives from Vodafone, Telstra, Google’s Pacific cable program, Starlink/SpaceX, the Australian and United States governments, the World Bank, ADB, the EU and PNG’s Ministers for Works and Minister for Planning, Acting Minister for Communications & ICT and a counterpart minister from the Australian Government.
Expect sharp discussions on cheaper mobile services, new undersea cables, satellite broadband for remote communities, defence infrastructure partnerships and the financing tools that will shape PNG’s next decade.
PNG CORE President Anthony Smaré, who is convening the summit, said the event will help coordinate the growing number of infrastructure initiatives involving PNG.
“PNG is entering a cycle of major infrastructure build-out. Investors want clarity, coordination and access to the decision-makers. This summit brings all those elements together in one place where government, industry and international partners can align their work,” he said.“This summit gives us that opportunity, and it comes at a critical time for PNG as we move into a decade of significant infrastructure investment.”
The event aims to streamline engagement and open new investment channels for long-term, large-scale projects.
“It’s the must-attend event for anyone involved in infrastructure, investment or regional development in PNG and the regional Pacific. All the key decision-makers are in one room. If you work in this space, you’ll want to be there.”
