Green Cities and Sustainable Solutions” was the theme of Sweden Africa Chamber business mission to Kigali 26-29 September.

Eighteen companies from the Nordic countries joined the mission to expose their solutions within sustainable energy, healthcare, waste management and other areas requiring sustainable solutions in Rwanda
 
Once again, Sweden Africa Chamber’s concept for business missions proved to be successful: Over 150 representatives from Rwandan key stakeholders participated in the one-day seminar co-organised with our partner Rwanda Development Board. The same number was represented at the networking event at the Swedish Ambassador’s Residence. The most appreciated part was as usual the individually customised B2B programmes for each company, this time hosted at Norrsken House in Kigali, where a total of 120 individual meetings took place in one day.
 
The Nordic companies were in local television and news-papers, and several deals were signed during the very same week.

A breakfast meeting was held at SWECO on 9 September where presentations and discussions were held on SADC Green Energy Solutions.

A presentation was held by ZESA Executive Chairman Dr. Sydney Z. Gata on Central African Renewable Energy project (CARE), Zambezi and Kafue Electric Power Potential. 
 
The opening remarks were held by SADC Dean H.E. Ambassador Florêncio Joel Alberto Sele of Mozambique.
