Africa Export, Commodities, Project & Development Finance 2022 | Trade and Export Finance (TXF) | 6 December 2022 | Virtual

Given the synergies in the markets the three brands serve, Exile is co-locating a number of its physical events in 2023. Attendees can optimise their trips by attending a TXF / Proximo / Uxolo event all at the same time, meeting more prospective business partners and learning about a wider range of industry trends.

Across the day there will be 4 sessions:

☆ Export Finance
☆ Development Finance
☆ Project Finance
☆ Commodities Finance

While each of the asset classes converge, there will be a sharp focus on each department dedicating time to delve into the top challenges and themes. We'll be covering all of the latest trends in the industry without a stone unturned. Here's a snapshot of what we’ll be covering on the day:

☆ The role of local African institutions in successful projects
