Malawi has committed to an ambitious plan for economic growth, called Agenda 2063, and is seeking opportunities to expand commercial engagement to support that growth. Malawi is also currently chair of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), which has committed to increase connectivity in energy and trade infrastructure in the region. SADC is a large market numbering over 350 million people and a priority region for Canadian investment.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to senior representatives of the Government of Canada and the Government of Malawi, featured speakers will include:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Burton Kachinjika, President, Chamber of Mining and Energy<\/li>\n\t<li>Rosemary Mkandawire, CEO Power Market Limited<\/li>\n\t<li>Ana Paola Guadarrama, Senior Export Manager, Business Development and Sales, Canadian Commercial Corporation&nbsp;<\/li>\n\t<li>Justin Woodward, Founder and Head of Africa, JCM Power&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\t<li>Madalo Minofu, Resident Representative, International Finance Corporation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>The program will include sessions on the energy and mining sectors, panel discussions, and individual business-to-business (B2B) meetings.
