Investment Roundtables
Closed-door conversations that bring investors, government leaders, and development finance institutions together to examine opportunities, build relationships, and move investment forward.
WHY ROUNDTABLES
The Right Room Changes the Conversation
A report can describe a market. A candid conversation can help you understand what is possible, what is holding things back, and who you could work with.
Our roundtables give participants space to ask substantive questions, test assumptions, and explore opportunities together. We bring former embassy and government professionals, local counterparts, and commercial expertise into the same conversation, connecting people who understand different sides of an investment decision.
WHAT WE OFFER
Roundtable Formats
Market Roundtables
Focused discussions on a country or region, bringing officials, local business leaders, and investors together to examine the investment climate and explore opportunities.
Sector Roundtables
Conversations around investment in critical minerals, energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and other sectors. Participants examine specific opportunities, shared constraints, and potential partnerships.
Policy Dialogues
Candid exchanges between government and private sector leaders on the regulatory, legal, and policy questions that affect investment, as well as the practical steps that could move it forward.
Convene a Roundtable With Us
We work with governments, businesses, development partners, and other organizations to design roundtables around their objectives and bring relevant participants to the table.
WHO PARTICIPATES
A Room Built Around Its Purpose
Depending on the focus, participants may include:
Institutional and strategic investors
Senior government officials and diplomats
Development finance institutions and multilateral organizations
Local business leaders and project developers
Industry, legal, policy, and risk specialists
We consider what each participant brings to the discussion and what they hope to take from it.
HOW WE WORK
From Conversation to Next Steps
Define the Purpose
We work with you to identify the opportunity or question at the center of the discussion and what a useful outcome would look like.
Bring the Right People Together
We draw on our international network and local relationships to identify participants with relevant knowledge, responsibilities, and interests.
Prepare the Ground
Concise briefing materials give participants a common starting point and more time for substantive discussion.
Guide the Conversation
Experienced moderators make room for questions, differing perspectives, and practical discussion of what it would take to move forward.
Follow Through
We capture key insights and agreed next steps, consistent with the discussion’s confidentiality terms. Where participants see a reason to continue, we help facilitate introductions and follow-up conversations.
OUR PRINCIPLES
How We Convene
Clear Confidentiality Terms
We agree on the terms in advance so participants understand how information from the discussion may be used.
Small by Design
Groups are sized to allow meaningful exchange and give every participant room to contribute.
Commercially Relevant
Specific projects and financing needs belong in the discussion. Participants should be ready to engage with questions and explore possibilities together.
Grounded in Experience
Our team brings direct experience in government, international development, law, and business, alongside knowledge of the countries and communities involved.
WHERE WE CONVENE
Washington. Miami. In Country.
We can convene in Washington, D.C., Miami, and markets where our members and partners work, including Harare, Delhi, Asunción, Islamabad and San Salvador. The location follows the purpose and the people who need to be involved.
