Description
The forum will focus on opportunities in the three following sectors:
- Agriculture
- Value addition in the production of Critical Raw Materials
- Energy
These three sectors will each have dedicated programmes running in parallel, which will constitute the majority of the programme. For each of these tracks, there will be presented actual investment cases and business opportunities identified in preparation of the forum.
Moreover, the programme will also contain cross-cutting sessions for all participants. This will include a high-level political segment, presentations of preliminary findings from an ongoing strategic environmental assessment, as well as a study on the anticipated opportunities and challenges of the Lobito corridor from an urban planning perspective.
Finally, the forum will provide ample opportunity for each company representative to pre-request Business-to-business meetings with other participants to discuss commercial collaborations.
