The panel spoke about what innovative funding models are available to ignite infrastructure development, how can the financial industry best deploy technology to meet the current and future needs of individuals and businesses, how can Africa build a robust capital market compared to other nations, and the explanation of how Africa has the potential to meet a significant part of its infrastructure investment needs from domestic sources.
