10/2/25, 8:27 AM ECI highlights its role as catalyst in enhancing trade, investment opportunities between UAE and Africa
ECI currently operates in 30 African countries, supporting UAE small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
as they integrate into continental supply chains, while also backing sovereign-led infrastructure projects. The
company has already closed deals in key sectors such as healthcare, hospital construction, medical fleets,
emergency infrastructure, firefighting, technology and data, and green energy- including solar and wind
projects. These initiatives are carried out in close partnership with Export Credit Agencies (ECAs),
Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and private markets to co-create innovative solutions.

Furthermore, prominent initiatives led by the UAE to advance sustainable development in the African
continent were discussed, with a spotlight on the "African Green Investment Initiative" (AGII). Announced at
the Africa Climate Summit, held in Nairobi in September 2023, AGII is a multistakeholder partnership that
adopts an innovative approach to climate finance, combining the resources, expertise, and local knowledge of
its partners.

Towards the closing of the session, emphasis was placed on ECI's role in supporting the UAE's global clean
energy agenda. During COP28, the UAE pledged USD 4.5 billion to accelerate clean energy projects across
Africa. In line with this, ECI is providing USD 500 million of credit insurance to de-risk and unlock private

capital - further demonstrating ECI's commitment towards global sustainable development.

The UAE's hosting of this second edition comes within the framework of its growing economic and trade

relations with African countries, particularly as it is the largest investor in Africa among the GCC countries.
Dubai hosted the 2024 edition of the forum, following ten successful editions held in London.
