Afrimari’s Temi Binitie

AFRIMARI NEWS – APRIL 2015

The Big Drop!

The Afrimari Collective is born.

On Thursday 26th March, Afrimari celebrated five years of Connecting Future Leaders. During this time, thanks to supporters and members, the growth of the network has developed into a Collective.

At the quarterly meeting, hosted at Cass Business School in conjunction with the Shipping Society, a hearty debate on the impact of the volatile oil price on African related maritime and trade markets took place. Debbie Turner, SSY London and Jeffrey Hartman, Taleveras,  shared their views. Debbie focused on the impact on gas markets, highlighting the need to use gas to power the continent and the price of oil has forced project plays in Tanzania and Mozambique to halt. Jeffrey saw the price play as an entrepreneurial opportunity.
