Webinar: Carbon and Green RWAs on the Chain: What Blockchain Innovation Means for Africa’s Nature-Based Assets and Net Zero
2026-01-28 12:00 - 14:00 (Europe/London)
ZERO13 is proudly sponsoring a webinar hosted by Vuka Group, Africa’s Green Economy Summit and Carbon Markets Africa Summit.
Africa’s nature-based assets are at the heart of the global climate solution, from carbon credits and conservation projects to water, food, and energy security. But how do we unlock real finance, integrity, and impact at scale?
The answer is on the chain.

The 56 countries of the Commonwealth offer a unique platform for collaboration – connected by common institutions, shared legal traditions, and a rapidly expanding consumer base. With a population of 2.7 billion and some of the world’s most dynamic emerging markets, the Commonwealth’s scale and diversity create significant opportunities for innovation, investment, and economic partnership.
Under the theme “Commonwealth Solutions to Global Challenges,” CTIS 2026 will convene leaders from government, business, finance, and technology for two days of strategic discussions. The programme will examine issues such as the future of AI, sustainable energy transitions, infrastructure investment, health technologies, creative industries, and the evolving global financial landscape. The Summit will also host closed-door roundtables designed to encourage robust dialogue and practical problem-solving.
Our Chairman & CEO Hirander Misra will have the honour of delivering a keynote speech, as well as have a fireside chat with Samantha Cohen CVO OBE, CEO of Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council.

Global Growth Conference 2026
2026-05-20 - 2026-05-21 | Rabat, Morocco
The Global Growth Conference (GGC) 2026, organised by the Amadeus Institute, will be held in Rabat, Morocco under the theme: “Structuring Growth: Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity”.
In a global environment marked by geopolitical fragmentation, trade tensions and the reconfiguration of value chains, the issue of growth has become particularly critical for Africa and the Global South. Beyond access to financing, the challenge today lies in structuring sustainable, productive and resilient growth trajectories.
The Global Growth Conference 2026 builds directly on the outcomes of GGC 2025, which led to the adoption of the Rabat Roadmap on Financing Growth and Energy Transition. This roadmap now serves as a reference framework to support practical discussions and the structuring of concrete growth pathways, particularly for Africa.
Inspired by the Vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, the GGC 2026 will focus on key priorities, including:

Financing and structuring growth in Africa;
Value chains, productive investment and industrial development;
Energy, resources and transition as drivers of resilience;
Morocco’s role as a trusted hub for stability, investment and partnerships connecting Africa with global markets.

The GGC 2026 will bring together over 100 high-level speakers and more than 1,000 participants from over 50 countries, including senior policymakers, international financial institutions, investors and private-sector leaders.
Hirander Misra, our Chairman & CEO, has been invited to participate in “The Discussion 5: AI, Data Centers & Cloud Infrastructure: The Backbone of Digital Sovereignty”, Thursday 21st May at 2:00 PM.
