TXF Africa 2021 Virtual: Export & Project Finance 2021 | Trade and Export Finance (TXF) | 21 April 2021 | Virtual Event

TXF Africa virtual 2021, the third in our series of networking extraordinaire virtual events for the region is set to virtually link up dealmakers spanning ECAs, SOEs, DFIs, MFIs, borrowers, exporters, commercial banks, law firms, insurers and governments from across the African continent but also connect with those interested in investing in the region from overseas.

All via our bespoke virtual platform, team TXF will hand deliver 1:1 meetings with your most compatible business partners, host interactive sessions with the region's top borrowers and lenders, share exemplary deals from the deal makers themselves plus much more.

Africa's need for infrastructure still remains strong. Whilst transportation and energy projects are still in high demand, the pandemic has caused increased interest in social and health infrastructure such as hospitals and schools. Given that Covid has delayed projects that were already in the pipeline, when will we start to see deals coming to fruition?

Will you take part as Africa's top borrowers and lenders pave the way for the future of African export & project finance.
