WASHINGTON, WA, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a global context marked by the progressive disinvestment in economic assistance programs in Africa, Gaspar Lino, Founder and CEO of Averi Finance, will be a keynote speaker at the Powering Africa Summit (PAS) 2025, taking place on March 6-7, 2025, in Washington D.C. The event brings together global leaders, investors, and energy sector experts.His presentation, titled “Energy Cooperation: Southern Africa”, will address the challenges and opportunities of energy cooperation in the region, with a focus on the crucial role of innovative financing and strategic partnerships in driving sustainable projects.
This presentation comes at a critical time for the African continent, where the need for investment in energy infrastructure is urgent, yet capital flows face significant obstacles.
During the event, Gaspar Lino met with Troy Fitrell, Senior Executive of the Bureau of African Affairs at the U.S. Department of State, to advocate for the importance of maintaining and expanding investment and financing in energy infrastructure in Africa to the new U.S. administration.

Averi Finance has established itself as an influential voice in the sector, promoting financial solutions that support economic growth and the energy transition in Africa.
“Southern Africa possesses extraordinary energy potential, but realizing this potential requires robust collaboration between governments, financial institutions, and the private sector. Our mission is to facilitate this dialogue and create financing mechanisms that address the region’s specific needs,” stated Gaspar Lino.
One of its most recent projects is the 3.8 GW mega-project in South Africa, focused on renewable energy, green hydrogen, and green ammonia. With substantial investment, this project aims not only to generate sustainable energy but also to position South Africa as a global leader in green hydrogen and ammonia production.
Averi Finance has distinguished itself through its ability to mobilize capital and create innovative partnerships tailored to the specific needs of each region. Its collaborative approach unites governments, the private sector, and financial institutions around common goals, reinforcing its role as a driver of sustainable development in Africa.
