Corridor-Zero DRC
Advancing trusted digital infrastructure supporting the DRC's copper, cobalt and battery-mineral economy.
DRC at a strategic glance
Africa's second-largest country. The Copperbelt and Katanga host copper-cobalt mining linked by rail to Lobito, Dar es Salaam and southern Africa — three international corridors in one nation.
The world's leading cobalt producer and a top-three copper producer — the critical minerals at the center of the global energy transition.
- Copper & cobalt mining
- Battery minerals & refining
- Hydropower — Inga and regional grid
- Forestry & agriculture
- Mine-site connectivity across the Copperbelt
- Rail corridor digitization and cargo visibility
- Border, customs and traceability data platforms
- Industrial power and processing-facility networks
