President Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will, from 24 to 25 November 2021, host and officiate a multi-stakeholder Business Forum to foster the development of a robust battery electric vehicle and renewable energy value chain and market in Africa.
Developing such a value chain would enable Africa to capture a larger share of this expanding BEV market projected to be worth US$8.8 trillion by 2025 and US$ 46 trillion by 2050
A prime objective of the event is to help change the fortunes of the Congolese people and those of other African countries by adding more value to their endowments in battery minerals including cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, nickel and graphite, to profit from the global transition towards green energy, electrification of transport systems and rapid decarbonization.
The net zero ambitions by 2050 makes this an urgent task.
Felix / DRC / Manono /AVZ = Right Place at the Right Time atm
