We are excited that through his expertise and leadership, His Excellency Obiang Lima will bring fresh perspectives to the discussion\u201d, said Sebastian Wagner, co-founder of the GABF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, the GABF is happy to confirm the participation of&nbsp;<strong>Senegal\u2019s Director General for Cooperation &amp; Financing, Mr. Ibrahima Man\u00e9<\/strong>, as a keynote panel member. \u201cGerman businesses have been important cooperation partners of Senegal for a long time. We are thus honored by Mr. Man\u00e9\u2019s participation in our discussion\u201d, added Mr. Wagner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other confirmed panelists are&nbsp;<strong>Mrs. Onyeche Tifase of Siemens, Mr. Tim Gengnagel of the Rwanda Development Board,<\/strong> and Mr. Kenneth Reed of the GEA Group. The panel will discuss the business opportunities and possibilities arising post-COVID between Germany and Africa. Germany\u2019s strong capabilities in LNG, petrochemicals, gas to power, biomass, and renewable energy have become central to the African energy agenda, with German expansion through the construction of world class facilities in Senegal, Rwanda, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Nigeria, Angola, and other African countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2019, the GABF launched a multi-million Euro funding commitment to investing in German energy startups that focus on Africa. The funding commitment, which pledges funds to German startups with exposure to African energy projects, is the first such intra-regional initiative. It goes in line with Germany\u2019s renewed focus on Africa, with the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) providing new stimulus to cooperation with the continent through the Marshall Plan with Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To attend, please register&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/africaoilandpower.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_ITq_FuNJQu-b4u98JRhLQw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact:&nbsp;<\/strong>Ms. Jessica Stang, Community Manager |&nbsp;Email:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@germanyafrica.com\">info@germanyafrica.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Germany Africa Business Forum (GABF) is organizing an exclusive webinar on the topic&nbsp;\u201cBusiness in Africa after Covid-19\u201d on August 6th, 2020, at 16:00 Central European Time.
