Africa has the potential to emerge as a global economic powerhouse and reshape the world. One of the major focuses is ensuring access to clean water, which is crucial for sustainable development. In May 2024, the annual “Africa CEO Forum” brought together Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, and policymakers from across Africa in Kigali, Rwanda. They gathered for conferences, debates, and high-level meetings dedicated to harnessing Africa’s transformative potential and driving the continent’s development forward.
Owini, a leading player in the water sector and a part of the Mitrelli Group had its leadership team present at the conference. The head of the water and food security sector at Mitrelli – Tomas Frade and BD Director Joao Germano e Silva represented our organization, emphasizing their commitment to advancing innovative water infrastructure solutions. Owini’s focus on cutting-edge irrigation systems and efficient urban water management aligns perfectly with the forum’s objectives of sustainable growth and improved quality of life across Africa.
During the forum, key stakeholders explored strategies to improve water accessibility and its impact on health, agriculture, and urban development. Owini’s projects in Sub-Saharan Africa showcase how modern water solutions can effectively tackle the region’s unique challenges. The company’s presence underscored the vital role of private-sector collaboration in achieving ambitious developmental goals.
