And it is our plea to all those who have bankable projects to work with us in packaging them for the investment forum,’ Chimbalu explained.

This Financiers Forum is a platform for project promoters to interact with potential financiers for their various projects.

MIF 2018 is targeting 1000 participants from both Malawi and beyond.

The forum offers a truly knowledge-based forum with cutting edge information on the latest investment and trade opportunities in Malawi.

It serves as a unique platform to meet, network, and exchange experiences, explore business opportunities and sign cooperation agreements and partnerships.

Included in its 3rd Edition are the following features: Conference, International Exhibition, Sector-specific sessions, investment projects presentations and B2B meetings.

Since the first forum, government has signed MOUs in the energy sector including with independent power producers, the start of construction of a five-star hotel near Mchinji roundabout in Lilongwe, a new fertilizer manufacturing plant under construction in Lilongwe, a company interested in turning the Zambezi and shire river into navigable waters for the Shire Zambezi waterway project, among others.
