PANEL DISCUSSION: Mobilising Capital at Scale: A Call to Action for Investors
With a growing population and economic boom, Africa urgently needs reliable and sustainable energy. Its vast renewable resources and underdeveloped infrastructure present a significant investment opportunity. This opening keynote panel will explore Africa's power and energy needs, its role in the global energy transition, and how to attract investment to drive growth. Experts will discuss financing renewable energy projects, navigating Africa's carbon markets (including the VCM environment), and mobilizing capital at scale.
Key areas of discussion:
-
What are the most pressing energy challenges facing Africa today? What have been the solutions for mobilising capital at scale?
-
Derisking to attract more capital - what alternatives do we have?
-
How can Africa leverage its carbon assets to attract investments and finance climate action? And how can carbon markets be designed to deliver sustainable benefits for African communities?
-
Barriers to scaling, who's unlocking investors?
