Australian off-grid renewable energy experts and entrepreneurs will get a rare opportunity to learn about rapidly developing export markets in African countries. In recent years, off-grid renewable energy markets in Africa have been growing exponentially in the race to bridge the gap for over 620 million people who do not have access to electricity.

Today in Africa, off-grid renewable energy sources are increasingly becoming more popular as the quicker option towards attaining predictable power supply for millions of Africans. The current trend presents tremendous opportunities for Australian major and start-up companies to export their electricity solutions to high-demand markets in African countries.

Decision-makers from African countries and Australia will be converging at the fifth edition of Africa Australia Technology + Infrastructure Conference (AATIC). The event will take place at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) in Perth on September 4 and 5.

The two-day event is part of Africa Week, supported by Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
