Join the Women’s Health and Economic Empowerment Network, Power Africa, Philips and Gemcorp for an invitation only working group session to finalize the structure of a $500 million blended finance platform for health, electrification, and telecommunications in Africa and Southeast Asia. The facility, anticipated to be launched in Q2 2025, will invest both technical assistance and equity capital into companies and projects that transform healthcare delivery and supply chain management.

The discussion will underscore the pivotal role of innovative financing models for power and healthcare in ensuring uninterrupted access to advanced diagnostics and therapies, while addressing supply chain inefficiencies. A core component of the discussion will explore how digital connectivity serves as the backbone for integrating data and AI solutions, enabling seamless interoperability across systems. Together, we will identify actionable opportunities for collaboration and mobilize critical resources to power health electrification initiatives and advance equitable access to essential health services.
