European Bioenergy Future 2016, hosted by the European Biomass Association (AEBIOM), is a unique opportunity for business players to provide their innovative vision on the future of bioenergy markets - and for policy makers to inform businesses about the role bioenergy will play in the future energy policy framework.

As part of this conference, AEBIOM organises an Africa-focused B2B matchmaking event and workshop in collaboration with the RECP.

The workshop will be an opportunity to find out how RECP can facilitate increased access to renewable energy in Africa through business partnerships and subsequent technology transfer from Europe to Africa. There will be a panel of speakers from Europe and Africa, providing a range of experiences from both continents and highlighting opportunities in Africa and optimal areas for collaboration.

The Business-to-Business Matchmaking session will be a chance for European companies to meet face-to-face with African entrepreneurs, project developers and financiers interested in Africa’s renewable energy markets. The resulting business collaborations and contacts will contribute to increasing access to renewable energy in Africa, while creating new business opportunities for European companies.
