ELUMELU TO DISUSS CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMEN AT WEF

The Chairman of Heirs Holdings and founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, Tony Elumelu, is set to discuss how to scale clean-energy investment to meet developing-country needs on a panel at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, The Nation reports.

Elumelu will frame his calls to action in the context of Africapitalism, the economic philosophy that embodies the private sector’s commitment to the economic transformation of Africa through long-term investments that create both economic prosperity and social wealth.

In the panel, ‘Catalysing Clean Power,’ Elumelu would focus on private sector, governments and research institutions that hope to expand access to and reduce the cost of energy for developing countries; off-grid technologies, battery power; clean cooking methods and environmentally sustainable power generation.
