GIBS Campus Conference: Navigating the Intersection of Energy, Economy, and Infrastructure for Business Success | Thursday, 23 March 2023

GIBS Campus Conference 2023

Energy and Infrastructure, the backbones of a healthy economy
Energy supply and sound infrastructure are fundamental to achieving economic growth. The interconnectedness and interdependencies between the two are irrefutable, with the country now experiencing the knock-on effects of failing and poorly maintained infrastructure. South Africa is not only in the midst of an energy crisis but also feeling the impact of compromised water supply, logistics, supply chain, pipelines, and technology.

What is the short- and long-term trajectory? Is the government committed to change, and if not, how do we build resilience into these business risks? Join us as we discuss these topics further.

Conference topics:

  • Taking Stock: Business and the Economy
  • The Infrastructure Scorecard
  • Funding, Maintaining, and Developing Infrastructure
  • Mitigating Against Further Failing Infrastructure:
    • Water and Sanitation
    • Road, Rail, Freight, Agriculture, Information, and Communication Technology
  • Smart Cities of the Future
  • Finding Pockets of Excellence, Investment Opportunities, and Growth
