This time last night… ✨

We were connecting people, opening conversations and creating opportunities at the CEIIF South Africa 2026 Networking Cocktail, hosted as part of the Gauteng programme of the Continental Energy and Infrastructure Investment Forum.

As the evening's sponsor, InvestSA Gauteng was proud to support a platform that brought together international delegates, government representatives, development finance institutions, diplomats, business leaders, investors and Gauteng-based businesses.
