Featuring Green Opportunities across Africa's natural resources and industries, with good incentives for governments, businesses, and investors to work in partnerships, to build an era of sustainable development investments, and low carbon emission industries throughout the region's economies and societies. Click here for (Institutional) Investors Forum >
Conference
An interactive platform hosted by the private sector at the centre of the global economy, New York, provides the stage for the first showing of the Africa Green Investment Gateway Conference. Teams of international experts, investors, and consultants will engage high level government officials, technocrats, Africa’s private sector, and regional and global developmental stakeholders regarding African nations working collectively, and systematically, in collaboration with investors to (a) exploit international climate change financial resources and channel them into Green investments launching an era of sustainable development investments across African industrial infrastructure (b) to turn the region into a top energy research hub for Green sustainable development investments for local and export markets to help them meet national and regional climate change mitigation targets (c) to define policies and incentives to spur innovation into Green investments and lure investors with the right mix of green technologies, which can transform traditional infrastructure industries like building and construction into Green havens that harness the environment to meet the energy and sanitation needs of people and their economies.
Experts
Expert witnesses, leading financiers and consultants from the world of business will be assigned to lead governments and businesses through legal, corporate, financial, and production processes influencing successful investments in Green infrastructure including wind, solar, tidal and renewable energy, agriculture, agronomy, new media, ecotourism, ICT/ telecom, education, biopharmaceutical healthcare, and cottage industries. An exciting mix of discussion and simulation panels, plenary sessions, pre-scheduled meetings, and workshops has been specifically designed to deal with each area of Green investments, including governance and leadership, legal, and financial dimensions. Experts will illuminate and educate about the roles of governments in devising and implementing Green investment programs and projects in societies, the environment and economies: and how businesses can partner governments and international investors in transforming traditional industries (energy, power, manufacturing, transport, building and construction ) into efficient low carbon emission sustainable infrastructure, and access to resources and funds available to acquire a winning start in the new global era of Green investments.
Participants
MDs, CEOs, CFOs, Business Consultants, Country Directors, Chief Operating Officers / Engineers, Ministers and Directors of Energy, Environment, Housing, Water, Transport, Health, Technology, and Trade, Industry and Investments; Country and Procurement Directors, and Project and Operational Consultants from not for proft and developmental organizations.
Organizers
According to Dr Rita Cooma, CEO of ICCouncil, "the Conference is a significant annual event between top investors and African companies and governments. It provides an ideal opportunity to influence the content of national and regional investment models, making them more able to attract the right mix of investments and technology required to benefit the next stage of infrastructure development. The combined resources of our partners, KPMG, DLA Piper, BD, Bank of America and Synchron Technology, and that of other supplier chains, are able to open up a Green investment gateway through which private, public, multilateral and grant funds can be channelled to synergize Africa’s Green resources, synthesizing them into marketable products to be traded at national, regional, and international levels. And with the active support of the African Union, World Bank, and governments of Africa, this should become a reality to lead into an era of sustainable development investments across the continent to benefit people, economies, and investors”.
Africa Supplies
Africa supplies 40 per cent of the world's natural resources and accounts for less than 3 per cent of carbon emission. All nations on their path to achieving economic growth and dominance have and continue to include Africa in their wealth building equations.
Hence, Africa the world's supplier is ripe to become the focus and target for global investments, towards value adding green technology and projects to exploit natural resources, leading onto an era of sustainable development investments, with balance between human ecology and the natural environment, and the needs of societies and investors.
Having identified the gap in the value chain to be bridged to create a virtuous cycle of reinvestment between African countries and international investors using the bottom up approach (the needs of the people), Corporate Africa and ICCouncil deem the moment appropriate for the first Africa Green Investment Gateway Conference.
