Welcome back to the second day of Africa 2023, brought to you by TXF, Proximo, and Uxolo
Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent shockwaves across the world but, over a year into the conflict, Africa's relationship with the country remains uncertain. This keynote considers:
Energy transition remains a global priority, but in Africa it is essential that this transition is ‘Just’. This session considers what the energy transition will look like in an African context, prioritising development whilst protecting communities most at risk of climate disaster.
Transport infrastructure is vital for connecting communities, economic empowerment, and Africa's energy transition. But how can we bring more projects to financial close? Here, we consider:
Africa’s resource riches make the metals and mining industry a key contributor to the region’s economy. This session considers:
It’s all very well generating power, but how do we transport it to communities? South Africa, in particular, is renowned for poor electricity transmission, but the issue pervades across the continent. This session considers:
Welcome to Africa 2023, brought to you by TXF, Proximo & Uxolo
Perception of risk in Africa is always higher than actual risk – but there are still some things to keep an eye on if you want to do business in the region. Our opening session brings you on a continent-wide tour of risk profiles across Sub-Saharan Africa, considering innovations from BRICS to US Dollar alternatives.

Africa can be a challenging market for exporters; high risk perceptions mean that it can be hard to source financing and make the most of the ripe opportunities in the continent. This session asks both international exporters looking to the continent, and African exporters looking at inter-continental trade:
ECAs remain a vital ingredient in African deals. This session brings together international ECAs to consider:
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) should bring bountiful opportunities to local companies - but how can we connect these SMEs to financing? Given the tight criteria that international banks stick to, this session considers:
Despite often smaller ticket sizes, healthcare and social infrastructure projects are vital for Africa’s development. This session considers how we finance these projects:
The purpose of development finance is to support development - but how do we guarantee that our projects have a tangible social impact? This session considers:
Whilst fossil fuels are likely to remain an important part of Africa’s energy mix, there is significant appetite for developing more renewables. This session considers:
There’s no dearth of enthusiasm when it comes to investing in Africa, but how do we ensure that there are enough bankable projects on the market to meet investment demands? This session gathers financiers, agencies, and those seeking finance to consider:
When risks are high, support from agencies can make a huge difference to a project’s viability. Over the last years, we’ve seen ECAs and DFIs working together more and more to help mitigate risk on vital projects. This session considers the trend:
