Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) joins forces with global stakeholders at the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) 2024, which will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from 25 to 28 June 2024.
This year’s theme focuses on “energy systems of the future – balancing Africa’s needs with global goals.”
Africa's energy sector stands at crucial crossroads and seeks to revive global interest in its potential to drive transformative change. As the continent strives for a secure, equitable, and profitable energy future, AEF emerges as a prime platform for collaboration as well as innovation.
As an industry leader in sustainable finance, we will be sharing in-depth expertise across business ecosystems with fellow key stakeholders, investors and future leaders to help shape the trajectory of Africa's energy sector. These discussions will have a strong focus on the progress and potential of renewable energy, critical-mineral exploration for clean technology and joint strategies, and opportunities for a sustainable future.
As the official Sustainable Finance Partner, we are proud to be represented by Dhireshni Chowthee, Mike Peo, Amith Singh and Ephraim Sehloho at the conference, where Nedbank CIB’s innovative finance solutions and insights for sustainable energy across the continent will be showcased.
