Ep12: Investing in Africa –
Renewable Power to
Entrepreneurship

Join us for a conversation with Walid Labadi, assistant general counsel, Africa, at International Finance Corporation (IFC), about IFC’s investments in North Africa, specifically Egypt and Yemen, in recent years. We delve into wide-scale renewable energy projects, foreign direct investment, the effects of the global pandemic, and the role of IFC and private sector investment in supporting entrepreneurs. We also discuss the differences between the business and legal side of project development and what’s ripe for further investment in Africa.
