2 Concept Based on the success of the 2016 ARE-RECP Off-Grid Investment Forum held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, ARE is delighted to invite again key stakeholders active in the sector to the ARE Energy Access Investment Forum in Lisbon, Portugal on March The aim of the high-level event is to leverage energy access investments discussing market conditions, trends and innovations as well as upcoming key policy initiatives, business opportunities and financial support schemes for scaling up energy access projects in developing and emerging markets. About 200+ participants including the international and European public and private sector, high level institutions as well as other key stakeholders for the development of business strategies in the decentralised renewable energy sector are expected at this well-established spring event of ARE, which thus creates a great opportunity for your company/organisation to further grow its profile in renewable energy markets.

4 Decentralised Renewable Energies Investing in and Technical Support for Rural Electrification The objective of the pitches is to briefly present key financial and technical instruments supporting rural electrification projects. The ensuing panel discussion and Q&A will result in general or region-specific recommendations to improve the policy and financial framework of the sector. In particular, topics for discussion are how to facilitate greater access to finance, how to make a project bankable, which policies are crucial for practitioners and which countries in the region seem mature for effective and rapid decentralised electrification. 14:00-15:00 Investing in rural electrification 5-min pitches and panel discussion by public financiers Caroline Nijland, ARE Vice-President & FRES General Director (moderator) Frederik Jan van den Bosch, Fund Manager Massif & Blending, ElectriFI / FMO Mahama Kappiah, Executive Director, ECREEE Felice Zaccheo, Head of Unit Sustainable Energy and Climate Change at DG International Cooperation and Development - European Commission 15:00 16:00 Investing in rural electrification 5-min pitches and panel discussion by private and other financiers Vivian Vendeirinho, Founder and Managing Director, RVE.SOL (moderator) Martin Hiller, Director General, REEEP Sylvain Goupille, Managing Partner, Althelia Ecosphere Markus Schwaninger, CEO, Ecoligo 16:00 16:30 Coffee break 16:30 17:30 Technical assistance for rural electrification 5-min pitches and panel discussion by private and technical support providers Pablo Astorga, Global Sales Manager, ABB (moderator) Edu Willemse, Market Development Manager for Energy, SNV 17:30 18:00 Closing Remarks - Introduction of Business & Finance Matchmaking Forum Marcus Wiemann, ARE Executive Director (moderator) Michael Wollny, ARE Vice-President & MD Wollny Consulting / Caroline Nijland, ARE Vice-President & FRES General Director Rebecca Symington, Executive Director, Mlinda Foundation 18:30 21:00 Reception & ARE Awards Ceremony ARE Awards Categories After decades of huge efforts made by hundreds of pioneers, ARE holds the opinion that it it is right moment for the recognition of relevant contributions in our common mission to provide 100% electricity access all around the world.
