The rise of African operators: driving asset acquisition into African Hands

 19 October 2023 | 15.00- 16.00 | Strategic Session 1.3.16

The discussion will bring together African NOCs representatives, independents, and financial institutions to shed light on the implications, challenges, and opportunities arising from this significant development.

Panelist: Taona Kokera, Director, Infrastructure Finance Advisory Services, Mazars
