1 RICS Summit Africa 2018 Driving sustainable growth through smarter urbanisation Supported by: Sponsored by: Media partners: RICS Summit Africa will return in 2018 with a renewed focus on smart urbanism. Taking place at the Johannesburg Maslow Hotel on May, this high-profile event brings together business and thought leaders, policy makers and other key influencers to consider how smarter urbanisation can drive sustainable economic growth across the continent. 08:00 Registration and refreshments 09:00 Chair s opening remarks Gugu Cele, Broadcaster 09:10 Introduction and welcome Sean Tompkins, CEO, RICS
2 09:20 Opening keynote address: Macroeconomic forecast for Africa The event will begin with an analysis of economic growth prospects in Africa. Building a picture of the whole continent by first detailing regional trends, the session will look at the performance of import and export sectors, commodities pricing, domestic demand, fiscal policy and currency valuation. Paying particular attention to the built environment s key industries, the session will assess the likelihood of Africa s economy continuing to expand in 2018/19. Barbara Barungi, Managing Partner, Imara Africa Consulting 09:50 Inclusive growth and sustainable development in Africa The extent to which Africa can hope to share in the dividends of China s multi-trillion dollar One Belt, One Road (OBOR) trade and infrastructure initiative, remains a source of conjecture. The OBOR s maritime route will alight on Sub Saharan Africa at Mombasa, with the Chinese funded Standard Gauge Railway further unlocking Eastern Africa s key cities. Nevertheless, beyond the region, similarly extensive connectivity upgrades are required in order for Africa to feel the full economic benefit of the project. Five years on from publication of the African Union s Agenda 2063, this session will seek to explore the link between integrated, cross continental infrastructure and inclusive, sustainable economic growth. Dr Martyn Davies, Managing Director Emerging Markets & Africa, Deloitte Sheila Galloway, Group CEO, Utho Group Siyabonga Gama, Group Chief Executive, Transnet SOC Ltd Alastair Herbertson, Director Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund, Investec Asset Management 11:00 Networking refreshments 11:30 Powering cities, empowering citizens The successful realisation of urban transformation initiatives across Africa will depend on scalable and sustainable solutions to the continent s power deficit. Case studying flagship infrastructure projects, renewable solutions, microgrids and energy efficient design, our expert panel will assess the role of city leaders, innovators and businesses in addressing this challenge. Can smarter application of knowledge and technology in major projects and commercial facilities save energy and drive improved use of space? With new approaches, including smart metering and carbon monitoring, helping to reduce resource consumption and waste, we will ask how pioneering cities, businesses and digitally enabled citizens are powering Africa s ambitions. Adama Deen, Senior Advisor on Strategic Infrastructure Initiatives, New Partnership for African Development Penny Herbst, Director of Strategy, Africa Green Co Linda Mabhena-Olagunju, Founder and MD, DLO Energy Resource Group 12:45 Networking lunch
3 Break out groups Break out group 1 Showcasing Africa s smartest cities 13:45 Konza Technopolis Kenya Konza Technopolis is a flagship project of the Kenya Vision 2030 project. With the ultimate aim of housing 260,000 citizens, the project s first phase will involve the construction of 168,000 sq. metres of mixed use real estate and create an estimated 20,000 jobs. Detailing the journey so far, including the developer s funding strategies and approaches to public infrastructure masterplanning, this session will detail the ambitions of one of East Africa s most expansive smart city projects. Eng. John Tanui, CEO, Konza Technopolis Development Authority 14:40 Smart city 2 Break out group 2 Funding Africa s infrastructure pipeline 13:45 Improved approaches to project feasibility The African infrastructure pipeline is currently valued in excess of US$350bn, but the challenge of demonstrating feasibility in development projects remains. This session will assess the causes of uncertainty in African construction projects and discuss potential solutions. Focusing on best practice approaches to demonstrating investability and capacity to complete, panellists will seek to answer the question: how can the continent s built environment professionals move vital infrastructure projects towards completion? Rockson Kwesi Dogbegah, Vice President, Chartered Institute of Building Africa and Executive Chairman, Berock Ventures Limited Ivan Cornet, Managing Partner, Latitude Five Anil Singh Rana, Founder, CPD Ltd 14:40 Attracting foreign direct investment and public private partnerships Despite showing encouraging signs for much of the 21 st century so far, investors often need encouragement to place their faith in Africa. Foreign direct investment and effective public-private partnership models are key to the long-term prospects of the continent s built environment; the challenges are numerous, but so too are the opportunities. Bringing together individuals with track records of success in driving investment into African development projects, this session will case study successful, replicable and scalable infrastructure funding models. Helen Botes, CEO, Joburg Property Company Neville Mandimika, Africa Analyst, Rand Merchant Bank
4 Break out group 3 Delivering world class commercial real estate in Africa 13:45 Strategic commercial real estate development Population growth, demographic change and urbanisation continue to drive African commercial property markets. Considering development trends, hotspots and emerging high-performance sectors, the session will look at funding models, new approaches to site identification and how headquarter strategies are changing. Susan Turner, Managing Director, Knight Frank South Africa Adeniyi Adeleye, Head Real Estate Finance West Africa, Stanbic IBTC Capital 14:40 Optimising real estate costs Now more than ever, effective application of workplace data can assist in the reduction of operating costs in workplaces. Emerging technologies are driving new approaches to the use of energy and space, optimising commercial real estate assets for the 21 st century. This session will aim to demonstrate how improved workplaces are creating happier, healthier and more productive workforces, while driving cost and resource efficiencies for employers. SF van der Linde, Client Director Property, Aurecon Our African City Andrew Mason, Director of Projects, Tsebo Facilities Solutions Jemil Dawodu, Managing Director Nigeria, JHI Properties/Cushman & Wakefield Excellerate 15:30 Networking refreshments 15:50 An update on RICS Strategy Globally and in Sub-Saharan Africa Mark Walley, Regional Managing Director, RICS Sanett Uys, Chair, RICS Sub-Saharan Africa Market Advisory Panel 16:00 Embedding sustainable Facilities Management practices in African commercial real estate Appreciation of facilities management as a specialism is growing across Africa, with expectations changing in respect of the nature and scope of the role. Traditionally seen as a short-term, maintenance focused professional, the 21 st century FM must place greater emphasis on long-term strategy and accept increased accountability in questions of value for money, sustainability and social responsibility. This session will bring together global FM leaders to discuss the evolution of the discipline. Particular focus will be given to the beneficial operational and cost implications of embedding long-term strategic FM initiatives in Africa s multi-billion dollar commercial real estate pipeline. Stephen Ola Jagun, Managing Partner, Jagun Associates
5 16:30 Closing keynote panel: A future facing Africa Home to four of the world s ten fastest growing economies, the world s youngest population and a rapidly expanding urbanised middle-class, opportunities abound in Africa. However, the continent faces a unique combination of challenges, both environmental and economic. Building on themes covered throughout the day, the closing keynote discussion will debate policy approaches to: Increasing internal trade volumes through regional free trade agreements Stemming the talent drain to Europe, Asia and the Americas Reducing freight costs through better integration of continental transport networks Easing movement of people to address labour needs in key industries Harnessing the creativity and entrepreneurialism of Africa s youthful population Liz Whitehouse, Managing Director, Africa House Tom Mundy, Director of Strategic Advisory, JLL Samantha Ashman, Associate Professor and Director UJ-IDEP MPhil in Industrial Policy Department of Economics & Econometrics, University of Johannesburg 17:30 Chair s closing remarks and conference close
