Since its inception in 2015, the GTR Africa Trade & Infrastructure Finance Conference has provided a key forum for regional corporates, financiers and trade specialists to meet and discuss Africa’s trade potential, as well as infrastructure and investment opportunities available across the continent.

With London housing a great number of institutions involved in African trade and infrastructure finance, the city acts as an ideal location for like-minded organisations to get together to assess future priorities.

Chairman for the two-day conference was Rt. Hon. Mark Simmonds, Former Foreign & Commonwealth Office Minister for Africa, who was joined on stage by senior representatives from the likes of Siemens, Ecobank, UK Export Finance, Rand Merchant Bank, Export Trading Group, BitPesa, Thomson Reuters, HOMT España, Winch Energy and many more.
