Thursday, June 23, from 8:00 AM &#8211; 10:00 AM PST will be dedicated to Celebrating Builders of Africa\u2019s Future 2022 Entrepreneurs. See more details below.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Join us starting in January to make the African Diaspora Investment Symposium and African Diaspora Network a platform for dialogue, action, co-creation, and most importantly, community-building.

Recognizing that fossil fuel energies tend to be historically concentrated across the developed world, there is a huge opportunity to leapfrog energy infrastructure in Africa through decentralized solar grids that accommodate and optimize for renewables. Despite its potential and cost-effectiveness, the challenge lies in drawing in commercial investment. Governments currently lack the investment template and assurances to attract private equity investment.
