Africa's energy and infrastructure projects have long been hindered, not by a lack of ambition, but by a lack of capital. Rene Awambeng, Managing Partner and Founder of Premier Invest is on a mission to change that.

An experienced international banker, with a successful track record in all aspects of structured trade, commercial and investment banking, Rene Awambeng will be leading Premier Invest’s Deal Room at the Congo Energy & Investment Forum (CEIF) 2025—a space where deals don’t just get discussed, they get structured, negotiated, and executed.

Ahead of the Congo Energy & Investment Forum (CEIF) 2025, Awambeng emphasized the critical need for structured financing and strategic partnerships to turn Africa’s energy vision into reality. “The challenge has never been about ambition—Africa has no shortage of that,” he stated. “The real barrier has always been structuring the right financing, securing the right partnerships, and ensuring that investment translates into action.”

Africa’s energy and infrastructure future will not be shaped in boardrooms alone—it will be built through bold investments, strategic partnerships and direct action. At the Congo Energy and Investment Forum, CEIF 2025, Premier Invest is hosting an exclusive Deal Room, designed for those ready to move beyond discussions and into execution.

The initiative aims to accelerate investment in Africa’s energy sector by: Connecting investors with ready-to-launch energy projects; Developing financing frameworks that ensure long-term, sustainable impact and eliminating barriers that have made capital access a challenge for African projects.

“This isn’t just about Congo,” Awambeng noted. “It’s about setting a new precedent for how African energy projects get financed and developed.”

CEIF 2025 is expected to attract top investors, policymakers, and project developers, offering a unique opportunity to engage in transformative investment discussions. Awambeng is calling on stakeholders looking to drive Africa’s energy transformation to join him in Brazzaville.

Congo’s energy sector is at a turning point. The right investments today will define its growth for decades to come. The Deal Room is where: Investors and project developers connect, not just to exchange ideas, but to unlock real opportunities; Deals move forward, partnerships take shape, financing strategies are built and the future of Congo’s energy and infrastructure is not just envisioned—it is executed.

For those interested in being part of this landmark event, registration is open for investors, developers, and policymakers who want to play a role in reshaping Africa’s energy future.
