Investing in Africa's Future

Africa's strategic importance for global energy security continues to grow especially with recent discoveries in countries like Mozambique.

This panel will discuss the current state of the oil and gas sector, incentives and policies to promote FDI and how governments and corporations can work together to increase and sustain production.
