Africa stands at the cusp of the energy revolution with vast untapped renewable energy resources. This represents an important opportunity for economic growth and sustainable development across the continent, particularly in French-speaking countries. With abundant natural resources and growing energy demand, the region is poised to benefit from green energy business and investment.

This conference aims to bring together industry leaders, investors, policy makers and stakeholders to explore the dynamic potential of renewable energy and discuss strategies for sustainable growth and development.

Objectives

– To present the current landscape and future prospects of renewable energy in Africa, focusing on Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Togo, etc.

– Present the current landscape of Slovenia and business opportunities in the field of renewable energy sources.

– Facilitate networking and partnerships between stakeholders.

– Discuss challenges and solutions for sustainable development.

– To present various companies presenting their products, services and technology in the renewable energy sector.

Energy needs in Africa are increasing rapidly due to population growth, urbanization and industrialization. With their growing economies, French-speaking African countries are in direct need of sustainable energy solutions to meet their future energy needs. 

The region is rich in renewable resources: Solar energy: the high level of solar illumination is an excellent opportunity for solar energy projects.  – Wind energy: Coastal areas and some inland regions have great potential for wind farms.  -Hydropower: Many rivers offer opportunities for small to large hydropower.  – Biomass and geothermal energy: these resources are also available and can be exploited for energy production. 

Key topics covered:

– The current situation of renewable energy in the regions of French Africa

– Technological progress in the field of solar, wind, water and geothermal energy

– Government policy and regulatory environments

– Case studies of successful renewable energy projects

Business and investment opportunities:

Africa’s renewable energy sector offers tremendous business and investment opportunities. The demand for reliable and affordable energy solutions is driving the growth of solar power plants, wind power plants, hydroelectric power plants and off-grid solutions. As a result, many governments in French-speaking Africa are implementing policies to promote renewable energy sources. International organizations and financial institutions also provide support through financial and technical assistance. 

There is a large market for renewable energy technologies ranging from small home solar systems to large scale renewable energy power plants. Business and investment opportunities include: 

-Solar power plants – Wind power plants – Hydropower plants – Off-grid and mini-grid solutions – Renewable energy storage solutions 

The transition to renewable energy is not only about economic growth, but also about ensuring environmental sustainability. Africa’s shift to clean energy can mitigate the impacts of climate change, reduce carbon footprints and promote environmental stewardship.

Presentation of the company 

We invite renewable energy companies to present their innovative products and technologies, including: 

– Solar panels and systems

The “Energizing Africa: Exploring Renewable Energy Opportunities” conference will serve as a central platform for stakeholders to engage in meaningful dialogue, share insights and forge partnerships. By harnessing the potential of renewable energy, Africa can achieve sustainable economic growth and improved access to energy for its people.

We invite industry experts, investors, policy makers and stakeholders to join us in Maribor on 26 September 2024. Together, let’s explore the enormous opportunities in Africa’s renewable energy sector and work towards a sustainable and prosperous future for the continent.

Slovenia Cameroon Business Club Business Conference.

Theme: ‘‘Bridging the Gap between Slovenia and Cameroon Business Environment’’

Slovenia Cameroon Business Club (SCBC),  is thrilled to present an engaging and informative online conference that casts a spotlight on the business climates of both Slovenia and Cameroon. 
This significant event, co-organized with the Chamber of Commerce of Primorska and rra-Podravje Maribor, aimed at fostering business collaboration between Slovenia and Cameroon. The conference, scheduled on the 22nd of JUNE 2023 from 11 am -13pm central European time, is designed to address the knowledge gap between the two diverse business environments and to identify potential avenues for mutual cooperation and facilitate economic exchange.
 At the heart of this conference is the theme “Bridging the Gap of Slovenia and Cameroon Business Environment”. The main objective is to navigate the complexities and uniqueness of both business environments, highlighting the opportunities and challenges present in each. The conference seeks to bring these two worlds closer together, thereby creating a more cohesive and supportive business network.

The two-hours Hybrid(virtual and physical) conference will feature distinguished speakers, drawn from a balance of Slovenian and Cameroonian backgrounds. Their presentations will delve into the nuances of their respective business landscapes, providing attendees with a deeper understanding and appreciation of each context.

A standout segment of the conference will be the “Presentation of Use Case: C-Astral Aerospace (C-Astral, proizvodnja zračnih in vesoljskih plovil d.o.o.)”. As a key supplier of drones to the Cameroonian military, this use case offers a real-world glimpse into successful Slovenian-Cameroonian business collaborations, and illustrates how Slovenian enterprises are making their mark internationally.

Following the individual presentations, a panel discussion will be held, where strategies for strengthening Slovenia-Cameroon business ties will be explored. The audience will also have the opportunity to engage with the speakers during a dedicated Q&A session, promoting active participation and enriching conversation around the conference’s central theme.

The conference aims to create an interactive platform that encourages the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences between Slovenian and Cameroonian businesses. Through this event, we hope to catalyse partnerships and collaborations that will promote economic growth and business innovation in both countries.

In essence, this conference represents a crucial step towards more robust international collaboration between Slovenia and Cameroon. We believe that by bridging this gap, we can unlock a plethora of business opportunities and contribute to the economic prosperity of both nations.
