After nearly half a century of dictatorship, Libya is finally free. With a culture stretching back many millennia, a highly educated young workforce and Africa’s largest oil and gas reserves, Libya is very much open for business and ready to retake its rightful place as one of the world’s leaders.
The Libyan Oil & Gas Summit 2012 brings together all the key stakeholders in the new Libya from the National Transitional Council, the National Oil Corporation and their related companies, International Oil Companies, Service Providers, Governmental organisations, thought leaders and experts from Libya and across the globe.

São Tomé and Príncipe Invest (STP INVEST 2012)
Conference and Showcase/Exhibition
13 – 15 June 2012, São Tomé and Príncipe
www.stpinvest.com
The Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, is a Portuguese-speaking island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa, straddling the Equator, west of Gabon. It consists of two islands: São Tomé and Príncipe.
The economy of the country is still dominated by the export of cocoa which represents 95% of exports by value. The plantations, nationalised at independence, have since been re-privatised as part of economic reforms introduced in the late 1980s. But the economy is set to change dramatically as it enters the ranks of oil producers. In order to cope with the huge impact of oil receipts, the government adopted an Oil Revenue Management Law in late 2004 to ensure that oil revenue is managed transparently and efficiently. The Law also provides for a government Trust Fund.
The country has a huge potential in the tourism sector with some significant investment by companies. Other sectors of the economy such as construction, telecommunications, finances, energy, hydrocarbons, health and education can attract investment.
São Tomé and Príncipe Invest 2012 will present these opportunities and will be the platform for the Government and business leaders to start talking projects and development of the country.
STP INVEST 2012 will attract a large number of participants from around the world. It’s an opportunity for companies involved in the Agriculture; Tourism; Telecommunications; Finances; Energy and Hydrocarbons; Health; Education and Construction sectors to showcase their expertise to potential clients.

The Africa Energy Forum 2012 will take place in Berlin from 26-28 June 2012.
Now in its 14th year, the Africa Energy Forum (AEF) is the established meeting place for the African power sector. AEF unites government and power utilities of Africa with the energy industry to focus on delivering power infrastructure projects in Africa. With massive demand for power in Africa, and international investors keen to fund power projects, this is the established event that African governments and private sector attend year on year. As a result AEF has become the place to do business and meet new and prospective clients.
A record 657 participants from 51 countries attended AEF 2011. Out of these countries, 28 were from Africa. Also of note were the countries that were represented by their energy ministers: Burkina Faso, Chad, Gabon, Guinea, Mali, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
AEF 2012 is set to build on last year’s success when it is hosted in the capital of Germany for the first time. Berlin is currently the most popular tourist destination in Europe, and with a new international airport scheduled to open in 2012 and competitive hotel rates, it is an ideal destination for AEF's international delegates.
