ATTENDEES
Facilitating Investment Between African Energy Markets and Global Investors.
Invest in African Energy Forum (IAE) unites the global investment community and showcases Africa’s most dynamic energy and infrastructure projects. As traditional financial institutions restrict fossil fuel lending, IAE focuses on catalyzing new sources of capital – from development finance institutions and multilateral development banks, to private equity and pension funds – while promoting the role of diversified energy investment in Africa’s energy security, industrialization, and energy transition.
The Invest in African Energy Forum (IAE) is an exclusive forum designed to foster collaboration between global investors and African energy markets. The event offers delegates two days of intensive engagement with industry experts, project developers, investors, and policymakers.
