Investment Networking
The Africa Energy Forum is the interface between the public and private sector. Investment networking facilitates investment by bringing governments and business together to discuss the opportunities and difficulties of investing in Africa's energy sector.
36 African government ministers have addressed AEF.
160 African governmnet officials have attended AEF.
57 heads of African utilities have addressed AEF.
155 executives from African utilities have attended AEF.
33 African countries were represented at AEF.
50 organisations have sponsored AEF.
In addition to Government-to-business meetings, business-to-business contacts are of course an essential part of the forum. A principal aim of sponsorship is to give sponsors an advantage in the investment networking process.
Most sponsors will have access to the delegate list before the conference, which helps them arrange meetings in advance.
Forum and MarketPlace sponsors have their own hospitality suite in the conference centre where they can arrange meetings.
Sponsors are allocated complimentary registrations, which can be used to either invite guests or increase their corporate presence at the conference.
Sponsors can identify who they would like to meet at the conference and EnergyNet will invite them to attend as delegates.
EnergyNet will contact ministers to propose that they participate in pre-arranged meetings during the conference. Sponsors will be given first choice to meet ministers.
Most sponsors are allocated free exhibition space. An exhibition stand is a focal point, and therefore can be used to promote networking.
Most sponsors will be entitled to a complete delegate list with contact details after the conference.
