Ron Mincy, Head of Africa of BlackRock: “We’ve learned from our data on returns and business models. A growing opportunity is distributed solutions, leveraging our learnings from infrastructure and growth equity investing.”

BlackRock “This is an incredibly dedicated room, putting our lives into investing in Africa. Therefore, we share this institutional knowledge of the lessons we’ve learned from previous roles and projects.”

BlackRock Philip Dyk, Managing Partner of Everstrong Capital: “Solar mini-grids are particularly meaningful in reaching rural communities that lack transmission infrastructure, while being a much cleaner option than coal or diesel.”

BlackRock Everstrong Capital “Distributed solutions are key. Both in terms of solar energy generation, but also as an enabler for transportation (e-mobility) for two and three-wheelers.”

BlackRock Everstrong Capital “A whole suite of renewable energy sources can bridge the gap between demand and supply - depending on geography and location. Solar and battery can be excellent with larger land mass, geothermal is abundant in East Africa, hydro capacity growing in Central and West Africa”.

I mean it from the bottom of my heart: The future of the world is in Africa. The United States is proud to be Angola's partner in writing that future.

The Lobito Port Terminal I toured today marks the start of the Lobito Trans-Africa Corridor – a bridge between the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, and a global hub for goods that communities rely on. It represents endless possibilities for the people of Angola and the region.
