AFRICAN MINISTERS OF ENERGY AND FINANCE TO MEET CHINESE INVESTORS IN BEIJING

2015 – a turning point for Africa and Foreign Direct Investment. 8 of Africa’s Ministers of Energy and Finance and key Chinese investors to meet in Beijing to outline investment projects

EnergyNet are delighted that the 4th Annual Africa Infrastructure and Power Forum takes place once again at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Beijing, China from the 15-16th October 2015.

As of 2011, China’s investment in Africa was 4.3% of its global trade. The growth of China-Africa trade is revolutionising African development, stimulating crucial upgrades of the continent’s infrastructure and power development - highlighted in June when Tanzania awarded a consortium of Chinese railway companies projects valued at $9billion.

AIPF is the Investment Forum where African organisations can meet face-to-face with key project owners and - more importantly - major Chinese investors into Africa.
