Workshops have been devised to benefit national delegates and project managers. Experts and Fund Managers will explain the criteria needed to access their funds and finances, financial options, packages, and the processes required for successful partnerships. In order to generate maximum impact and engagements between participants and delegates, the workshops will be attached to the Investors Forum in which speed meetings between investors and project opportunities will be ongoing throughout the course of the event.

Four plenary sessions devised to provide learning experiences from the countries participating and other developing nations, will take place over the two days. On the agenda are issues about access to finance for sustainable investments into key infrastructure projects, developing a stable and secure environment and empowerment of local content. Other topics include power generation, community development, industries, urban planning and development, the role of African banks in building infrastructure, regional and cross border cooperation to enhance infrastructure and trade, and private public partnerships and collaborations inside countries forming Africa’s four Regional Economic Communities (RECs).

In addition to plenary sessions and workshops, opportunities are available for networking and matchmaking with financiers, foreign investors, government representatives and other developmental partners from the USA, Europe and Asia. The G8 Africa Infrastructure Investment Conference has the full support of African Trade Ministries including Departments of Trade and Industries and the New Partnerships for African Development. Businesses who are already partners in development in Africa and those that are looking for new markets are invited to attend the event in Ghana to explore the many new opportunities available.

The Corporate Africa was established in 1994 and is a leading business journal promoting business, trade and investments inside African destinations to investors with emerging markets portfolios.
