São Tomé and Príncipe Investment Forum: A Gateway to Profitable Opportunities Takes Place 18-19 September, 2024
Investors from around the world are invited to the São Tomé and Príncipe Investment Forum, set to take place from 18-19 September 2024 at Hotel Praia, São Tomé. This forum presents an exclusive opportunity to explore high-potential, investment-ready projects across key sectors in one of Africa’s most promising economies.
Organized by Afreximbank and the Government of São Tomé and Príncipe, the event aims to foster investment in sectors pivotal to the nation’s growth, backed by government incentives.
Key Investment Opportunities:
1. Renewable Energy
São Tomé and Príncipe is prioritizing renewable energy as a sustainable growth strategy. Investors will find lucrative opportunities in hydroelectric and solar energy projects, with attractive government-backed incentives and long-term power purchase agreements. The forum will also highlight small-scale hydro development, creating space for innovation and new partnerships.
2. Tourism
With its rich history and natural beauty, São Tomé is an emerging player in luxury ecotourism. Investment opportunities include the development of high-end eco-resorts, agri-tourism projects, and the renovation of colonial estates. The tourism sector is focusing on both short-stay business and leisure travel as well as long-stay eco-experiences, making it an appealing destination for those seeking sustainable tourism investments.
3. Agriculture & Agribusiness
São Tomé, often referred to as the “Chocolate Islands” due to its reputation for high-quality cocoa production, offers attractive prospects for investors in agriculture. There is a special focus on premium export markets for cocoa, as well as integrated farming systems that include dairy, poultry, and high-value crops like white pepper.
4. Fisheries
With its abundant marine resources, São Tomé is looking to attract joint venture partnerships for sustainable fishing industries. Investors can explore opportunities in seafood processing, creating international export strategies that align with the island’s vision of sustainable development.
5. Logistics & Maritime
Strategically located off the coast of West Africa, São Tomé is well-positioned to become a regional trans-shipment hub.
