Countdown has begun to Africa's most highly-anticipated event of the year – 'Unlocking Solar Capital: Africa', organized by Rotterdam's Solarplaza International ,GOGLA clean energy association, Utrecht, and Brussels-based Solarpower Europe, 25-26 October 2017 in the Ivory Coast capital, Abidjan
Bringing together some of the brightest minds under the sun, this powerhouse of renewable energy professionals includes 350+ decision makers from development banks, investment funds, solar developers, independent power producers (IPPs), engineering, procurement and construction managers (EPCs), and a host of other solar stakeholders.
Their objectives: to harness global interest in Africa as a rising star in solar capture, power generation and distribution.
Attendees will “engage in extensive discussions to solve Africa's solar energy funding gap and get projects realized,” organizers stated, with “in-depth discussions on on-grid/off-grid/mini-grid solar financing and development,” and “guaranteed matchmaking through our customized software and interactive networking breaks.”
As the planet's 2nd largest continent, Africa is the focus of Solarpower Europe project RECP – the European Commission-funded Africa-EU Renewable Energy Cooperation Programme.
Bridging the gap between European and African information providers, partners and funders, RECP identifies solar project opportunities and targeted match-making activities.
