| dc.description | The DRC-Africa Business Forum was held in a hybrid format, in Kinshasa and online, is convened by the Government of the DRC through the Ministry of Industry together with the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), Afreximbank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), the Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF), and the UN Global Compact.
A prime objective of the event was to help change the fortunes of the Congolese people and those of other African countries by adding more value to their endowments in battery minerals, including cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, nickel, and graphite, to profit from the global transition towards green energy, electrification of transport systems and rapid decarburization. The net-zero ambitions by 2050 make this an urgent task. | en |
