The African Continent has undergone dramatic economic growth in the past years, and many countries are becoming increasingly attractive for project finance investments in infrastructure, power, and other sectors. Yet a number of challenges remain. In this IPFA Event we will be looking at innovative approaches to management of investment risks from finance, insurance and environmental perspectives. We welcome you to join us and share experiences first hand.
