Very insightful, informative engaging and progressive.

The experience was great. I really learned a lot. I am attending the main event in October.

It is a good platform that enables the Government to exchange progressive ideas with various private sector players and stakeholders.

Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, H. E. President of the Republic of Mozambique

To the conference organizers and their partners, I address my appreciation for managing to bring together within the covid-19 rules of prevention (...) experts and professionals from various sectors who will discuss relevant topics to the current global and national context. I believe that the success achieved in the last editions of the conference keeps the active interest of the participants.

Bruno Dias, Consulting Partner at EY

MMEC has been used to being a meeting place and debate of the main sector stakeholders in Mozambique. The fact that this latest edition was in a hybrid format allowed us to further broaden the universe of participants, learn about their plans and strategies and interact in a perspective of developing future businesses or partnerships.

Samuel Okpattah – Managing Director, Sovereign Infrastructure Group

PIAfrica should continue the advocacy role with regulators and legislators in addition to developing robust education and relevant training programs to enable Pension Funds and investors to invest in Alternative Assets in Africa, including Infrastructure Project Vehicles and Private Equity Funds.

Alain Mekulu – CEO, Caisse Nationale de Prevoyance Sociale, Cameroon (CNPS)

This critical thinking dedicated to the impact of Pension Funds has helped enhance the leader’s ability to review the management of pension funds to achieve profitability and growth. The indispensable role of pension funds in developing the capital market trigger economic growth with the availability of long-term capital and improving corporate performance.

Yes, it was very good sharing all those experiences from various countries and also various perspectives. Most infra sectors were also covered! Good job. Thank you all for organizing Africa PPP and having such a good Webinar technical platform.

Jean-Marc Thystere Tchicaya | Minister OF Hydrocarbons, Republic OF Congo

This conference is extremely important for the Republic of Congo and the entire sector in general as it allows us to discuss current legislation and regulations in our country but also in the sub-region. It also allows all of the partners to discuss and exchange on the problems of our sector, from upstream to downstream, to be able to pinpoint the various problems and to provide possible solutions that governments and oil companies can continue to exploit to find lasting solutions to develop our sector.

Andrea Cattaneo | CEO And Founder, Zenith Energy

I think that the conference is excellent. It is very important to remember that a country who can afford its own conference gives a clear sign of credibility, it shows that it is one of the leading places of oil & gas production in the world. Only few countries can afford to have their own conference, so it shows that there is a leader in the oil & gas market in Africa.

Christine Roche | New Ventures Manager, PGS

It has been very positive few days, it has been very productive, there has been a lot of very positive conversations. The key take home message is definitely that everybody wants to enhance production, continue exploration and prove reserves not only just in Congo but across all west Africa and the Appo productive countries.
