Corporate Africa

Key Objectives

Define Africa’s position and identify its competitive advantages on the international agenda for Global Warming and Climate Change by investing in low carbon economic infrastructure, including hydroelectricity, improved access to arable non-forested land, improved fibre optic bandwidth to expand ICT development, attract investments in renewable energy, alternative energy, tidal technologies, solar, wind, agricultural research, green technology, infrastructure development, and heavy industry equipment for agriculture. Increase investments into farming to plug the local population into the economy with a bottom up approach, to enable and develop African entrepreneurs and strengthens the role of SMEs and high potential low carbon sectors, such as fruits and vegetables, aquaculture, honey cultivation and harvesting, business process outsourcing, sustainable hospitality, resort and ecotourism.
Make presentation about future developments in Africa about the role that green technology, renewable and green energy should play in building and sustaining environmental, economic, and social development investments across African countries, with emphasis on reforming existing forest-dependent sectors, including forestry and mining, where necessary so that these sectors can operate at the standards necessary to protect Africa’s forest and natural landscape. Expand access to services and create new economic opportunities for local populations and Local entrepreneurs through improve social services [including health and education], low-carbon energy sources, clean water and employment that compliments the environment.
