The African Extractive Minerals Development Bank (AEMBank) has successfully hosted its London Investor Roadshow, bringing together leading institutional investors, financiers, and policy stakeholders committed to advancing Africa’s mineral-based industrialisation.
The event marks a significant milestone in AEMBank’s mission to act as a major catalyst for the development of the African continent’s extractive and solid-minerals sector.
Of particular importance are the critical minerals which are key to the enabling of energy transition.
According to AEMBank, the time for “pit-to-ports” mentality to reach a grinding halt has come.
