One Day Investment Summit, A Catalyst for Engagement of the Liberia Festival 2025

Introduction

In the words of the NIC Chairman, Liberia has "Endless Opportunities." Despite the challenges imposed by the global impact of COVID-19, Liberia remains optimistic that the global economy will recover quickly. A critical focus of economic activity in Liberia will be on encouraging productivity-driven growth and diversification. With a newly enhanced strategy in place to support international business investment and growth, Liberia is ready for business. Liberia Festival 2025 (LIBFEST), in collaboration with Bentley Kantor & Company, is proud to present the Liberia Investment Summit, a one-day event scheduled to take place during the Liberia Festival 2025 in Liberia. The one-day investment summit will serve as a pivotal platform for promoting investment opportunities and driving economic growth. Our goal is for this not to be just another talking shop but an avenue for meaningful and assertive engagement through collaboration and partnership. This summit transcends conventional summits-it acts as a channel for advancing investor engagement, including institutional capital providers and lenders. The Summit is a call to action, bringing together visionary leaders from Liberia, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States who share a unified ambition to enhance Liberia's business environment, help rebuild Liberia's productive capacity, and invest in the country. Attend this summit to promote economic empowerment, stimulate Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Supports Sustainable Development, and network. The summit will focus on Power and Energy, Agriculture and Solid Minerals, Creative and Entertainment, Healthcare and Technology, Financing, Bilateral Trade Promotion, and Investment Facilitation.

The Organizers

Liberia Festival 2025 is a visionary endeavor by Desmond Johnson and Lionel Bernard, with a mission to promote Liberia as a whole, provide temporary employment opportunities, infuse capital into Liberia's economy, facilitate collaboration between local Liberians and the diaspora, expose tourism destinations across Liberia, and enhance cultural connections. Bentley Kantor & Company (BKC) offers value-added services to venture capital firms, funds, banks, and multilateral financing agencies, as well as providing intermediary financial services to companies and governments seeking access to finance. At Bentley Kantor & Company, we bridged the gap between the public and private sectors by providing a platform for engagement. We assist Sovereigns in taking an idea or project from conception to realization by identifying and introducing the right partner. We also help package ideas and projects to facilitate feasibility studies, business plans, and financial models and syndicate financing through a "Mandated Lead Arranger" (MLA), private placement modalities, reverse mergers, or self-issues. Private Sector players view us as valuable partners in helping them navigate the hurdles.
