Union Maritime is joining forces with Concordia as Founding Sponsor of Concordia Africa: an African-led initiative focused on driving action-oriented conversations and fostering a community of partnership-oriented stakeholders within the continent.
A London-based owner and operator of chemical tankers focused on clean petroleum products in West Africa as well as internationally, a key focus area for Union Maritime is its educational maritime program with African seafaring nations, such as Nigeria.
With Africa yielding vast potential in terms of partnerships for social impact, the collaboration between Concordia and Union Maritime will strive to engage African stakeholders across a wide range of industries, particularly financial services, in order to identify investment strategies that generate positive impact. The partnership will provide a platform for African stakeholders to convey their views and will pave the way for cross-sector collaboration based on Pan-African initiatives, both at the 2018 Concordia Annual Summit and beyond.
Concordia’s Africa programming at the 2018 Concordia Annual Summit will serve as a framework to guide evolving discussions around the African continent, with the goal of providing a safe diplomatic space for cross-sector leaders to share strategies and priorities for African economic growth, while building connections and identifying opportunities to create lasting progress on the rapidly-growing continent. Leveraging the insight and expertise of Union Maritime, Concordia will look to host a series of partnership-building events in East Africa in 2019. While aligned with Concordia’s global thematic pipelines, these events will be shaped and driven by local stakeholders in order to build sustainable and scalable alliances among the government, private sector, and civil society.
