Dear Colleagues,
It is my greatest pleasure, on behalf of the Organizing Committee, to welcome you to attend the 3rd Nuclear Industry Congress Africa 2016, which will be held on February 2-3, in Cape Town, South Africa.
Under the theme of "Paving the Way for New Nuclear Builds in Africa" the conference will discusses the continent's nuclear power programme from the perspectives of policy, infrastructure, financing and funding, NPP updates, technology showcase and localization, project management, supply chain and HRD, as well uranium, fuel cycle and waste management.
The congress will offer you a comprehensive coverage of the nuclear new build market with fresh project updates in South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, as well as West Africa and various case studies. Meanwhile, for those who are keen to find new investment opportunities or strengthen their presence in the global market, especially the African market, this two days congress will provide plenty of opportunities to meet your future partners.
I am looking forward to seeing you in Cape Town!
