AFRICAN MINISTERS, VIPs & INFRASTRUCTURE EXPERTS in JOHANNESBURG to PUSH for PROGRESS in REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
7th June 2016, JOHANNESBURG – This week more than 50 of the continent’s infrastructure heavyweights descend on Johannesburg for the continent’s biggest annual infrastructure event that will take centre stage as Africa’s preferred destination for connecting and investing in African infrastructure projects.
Africa has a long history of grand regional strategies that have at times taken a back seat to political instability and national interests. Attracting investment and instilling business confidence requires more than good programmes and strategies. Governments need to provide policy certainty and show their commitments to the continent’s growth through regional government investment in infrastructure.
This week’s Infrastructure Africa Business Forum (IABF) at the Sandton Convention Centre (9-10 June) will unlock some of the enormous growth potential in Africa’s infrastructure sectors through its high calibre of delegates and unique business matchmaking programme that assist delegates in securing new deals and meeting prospective project partners.
There are exciting highlights expected at this year’s event, including the partnership with the African Development Bank which has raised the delegate numbers and African ministers attending the continent’s biggest infrastructure symposium. The 2016 event also sees the launch of the African Inclusive Infrastructure Forum (AIIF), a side event of the main conference dedicated to gender issues and women’s empowerment in infrastructure.
Year on year, the Infrastructure Africa Business Forum has drawn infrastructure experts who are responsible for the development and roll-out of Africa’s build programmes.
