Why to Attend?

Abu Dhabi has launched a new programme to finance renewable energy projects in Africa. The Etihad 7 program launched by the Emirates will secure financing for renewable energy projects in Africa, and aims to provide clean electricity to 100 million people by 2035. The initiative will help African nations meet fast-growing energy needs without the corresponding surge in greenhouse gas emissions.

Choosing the Right Country

Africa’s 55 countries each exhibit unique regulatory and political environments, which greatly influence their investment attractiveness.

Choosing the Right Technology

New investors may need guidance as to which technologies are best suited for the regulatory environments and resources available in each country.

Choosing the Right Project

Understanding project returns and costs of capital are critical for investment decision making. This information is notoriously scarce in a geography where secondary market transactions are limited – this is especially true in the African context.
