#Imbizo21
AN INVESTMENT CATALYST FOR SOUTHERN AFRICAN INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECT PREPARATION:
THE KEY TO FAST-TRACKING INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA
IMBIZO ‘21 is Southern Africa’s only event that supports the project-preparation phase of the infrastructure investment life-cycle. This is a key area, that project owners often under-estimate and overlook. It can be a barrier to finalising funding and investments and is
becoming widely recognised as one of the key constraints to infrastructure development in Africa.
The ‘preparedness’ process comprises the entire set of activities to take a project from conceptualisation to actual implementation.
Bringing together over 100 key leaders who are striving to increase finance and support for sustainable infrastructure development in
Southern Africa, IMBIZO ‘21 will accelerate the momentum to achieve infrastructure priorities that will help improve the economic wellbeing of Southern Africa.
IMBIZO ’21 WILL FEATURE
High-level Summit
programme presented by industry experts
B2B networking and
matchmaking pre, during
and post
Connect pre, during and post Summit through the digital platform
Private meeting spaces for targeted networking (live and digital)
FUTURE-PROOF INVESTMENTS:

Before its implementation, a well-prepared infrastructure
project is shaped to ensure the:
• economic and financial feasibility
• balanced allocation of risk between the role-players
(project owner/investor)
• commercial viability
• adequate funding and financing
