South African Trade Mission Returns from Zambia

Monday, February 13, 2017

A South African energy sector trade and business delegation recently returned from a successful trip to Zambia. The trade mission, led jointly by Trade Invest Africa and the South African Electrotechnical Export Council (SAEEC), will work to promote Zambia as an investment destination for South African firms.

The specialized energy sector trade mission to Zambia was a sector-specific mission to Lusaka focused on meeting with various public and private organizations in the Zambian energy sector. The mission’s aim was to facilitate market access and unlock investment opportunities in the Zambian energy sector in response to the deficit in generation capacity, transmission line roll-out and universal access to electricity.

The mission leaders are optimistic that this innovative approach to doing business will result in positive results to both the Zambian and South African economies. A follow up to this energy- and project-focused mission would be the participation of the various public and private sector institutions from both Zambia and South Africa in the upcoming Africa Energy Indaba to be held in Johannesburg February 21-22.
