Energy Sector Mission

The 11th of March we posted an article on our blog to make you aware of the upcoming Energy sector mission to the World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, Asian Development Bank and Millennium Challenge Corporation in Washington, DC from May 4 – 7, 2015.

The joint mission, involving companies from Canada, United States, Austria, France, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries is next week!

The theme of this energy mission is “Integrating Sustainable Energy in Global Development”. The mission is intended for private sector parties – both suppliers and consultants – interested in learning about business opportunities in the energy sector.

This is always a unique opportunity to network with companies and potential partners from around the world and at the same time learn about opportunities in the energy sector from the World Bank and other institutions. For those of you who can’t attend but might be interested in the next Energy Mission, we have attached the Energy Mission 2015 agenda.

For more information on what the efforts of the World Bank, IADB , MMC and ADB entail concerning energy, click the organization.

It takes its name from the original Nederlandse Staatsmijnen, or Dutch State Mines.

The CSIS Africa Program and the CSIS Energy and National Security Program invite you to a discussion on:

Africa’s Changing Energy Landscape

Monday, April 20, 2015, 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.
2nd Floor Conference Room
Center for Strategic and International Studies
1616 Rhode Island Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20036

New oil and gas discoveries across Africa have raised hopes among governments and citizens alike that major investments to spur economic growth and development are the horizon. But the recent collapse in oil prices and broader unease around the energy market leave the timetable for capitalizing on these new discoveries uncertain. Join us for a pair of panel discussions on what these discoveries mean for Africa’s energy landscape and what role renewable energy sources can play in broader efforts to increase energy access and support development across the continent. The conference will serve as the launch of the new CSIS report, “Africa’s New Energy Producers: Making the Most of Emerging Opportunities.”
