The online meeting place for investors in Africa’s infrastructure
Africa Investment Exchange: Online
January to December 2021
Established at RSA House in 2013, the Africa Investment Exchange (AIX) has become one of the meeting places of choice for Africa’s energy sector stakeholders. We are pleased to combine a monthly online AIX series with traditional live AIX: Gas and AIX: Power & Renewablesmeetings held at RSA House, London in 2021.
Over 1,200 participants, including leading private and public sector investors, African officials and project developers registered to the AIX: Online meetings in 2020. The new format has opened up our events to a wider audience and we plan to continue producing online panel discussions and roundtable meetings with networking opportunities in 2021.
