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.

The award acknowledges ZERO13’s major focus on addressing the structural gaps that continue to hinder sustainable investment at scale. With an estimated US$4–5 trillion required annually to meet global climate targets, traditional financial systems remain fragmented, slow, and inaccessible to many climate-critical projects. ZERO13 was created to change that reality by enabling the efficient, transparent flow of capital into high-impact sustainable real-world assets.

ZERO13 centres on green real-world assets (RWAs), including carbon credits, renewable energy, and nature-based solutions such as reforestation and agroforestry. By digitising and tokenising these assets, the platform transforms them into investable instruments that can be issued, placed into digital custody, invested into, traded and settled across global markets with institutional confidence.

Through its 7Cs framework, ZERO13 strengthens climate resilience and economic empowerment by connecting fragmented markets, channelling capital into underserved regions for carbon credits and sustainable commodities development, supporting communities through inclusive climate finance tools, and aligning the objectives of companies and countries under a shared sustainability mandate. This approach reinforces a core principle: sustainability must also be economically sustainable, and the Global South holds some of the world’s most valuable, investible, and verifiable climate assets.

Beyond efficiency, ZERO13 addresses trust and inclusion. Its regulated infrastructure provides a level playing field for public and private sector issuers, while offering institutional investors the transparency, compliance, custody, and reporting standards they require. Aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, ZERO13 supports ITMO trading, carbon auctions, and climate finance initiatives across Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

By bridging traditional and digital finance, ZERO13 is helping to turn sustainability from ambition into execution, and execution into measurable, investable outcomes.

The fifth edition of the Commonwealth Trade and Investment Summit will be held on 20th and 21st April, 2026, at the City of London’s historic Mansion House. CWEIC will convene Heads of Government, Ministers, and senior business leaders from across the Commonwealth for two days of discussion and networking at the highest level.

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.

Launching at Gulfood 2026, the inaugural Gulfood World Economy Summit will be the global command centre for food security, trade diplomacy, and economic resilience. Over four decisive days, it will convene ministers, policymakers, CEOs, global institutions, and industry visionaries to confront the forces reshaping how nations source, secure, and stabilise their food futures. With food systems now central to the UNFSS+4 and COP30 agendas, the Summit will tackle the urgent need for transparent, climate-smart, cyber-resilient value chains that can withstand volatility and deliver long-term security.

Our Chairman & CEO Hirander Misra has been invited to speak on a panel: “Climate Sustainability and the Green Food Economy: Building Resilient Food Ecosystems and Networks”. The race to decarbonize food systems is on. Circular food systems, green supply chains, decarbonization strategies, and climate-smart agriculture leads to sustainable food practices. This panel explores how climate-smart practices and regenerative agriculture can transform global food production while respecting planetary boundaries.

Key topics:
▸ Strategies for scaling low-carbon supply chains, aligning with COP30 goals, and creating resilient systems that balance profitability with sustainability
▸ Scaling regenerative food systems for a low-carbon future
▸ Agricultural Biotech: the next frontier in sustainable farming
▸ Understanding how organizations embed sustainability into operations and production while balancing cost efficiency and outcome: Accelerating Sustainable food practices to shape the future of our food industry
▸ Sustainable supply chains: Developing innovative and collaborative solutions to ensure food supply continuity and minimize climate impact
▸ Policy‑to‑practice: Decarbonising supply chains and accelerating the green transition
▸ Initiatives that promote a circular economy in reducing food waste and loss and improve sustainability through partnerships and technologies

“Multilateralism isn’t dead, but it is in cardiac arrest. To save it, we must move beyond headlines and start building the digital rails for real implementation.”

At the Institut Amadeus MEDays Forum 2025, our Chairman and CEO Hirander Misra highlighted the urgent need to close the $4 trillion climate financing gap. At ZERO13, we are meeting this challenge through our 7Cs framework, which ensures that Climate action is inextricably linked to Capital and Connectivity.

By empowering Countries, Companies, and Communities to monetize their natural capital, we are shifting the narrative:

• From Debt to Equity: Moving away from debt-heavy models toward asset-backed growth.
• Interoperability: Breaking down the “walled gardens” of carbon markets to create a seamless global network.
• Revenue, Not Just Cost: Transforming sustainability from a compliance burden into a revenue-generating opportunity for the Global South.

Expertly moderated by Julien Tourreille, Ph.D. (Professor at UQAM | Université du Québec à Montréal), the panel featured world leaders: H.E. Dr. Csaba Gondola (Hungary’s State Secretary for Circular Economy and Climate Policy), H.E. Mr. Cyril Svoboda (Former Deputy Prime Minister of Czech Republic), H.E. Mr. Bill Rammell (CEO of Parallel Histories), H.E. Mrs. Nouzha Bouchareb (Former Minister and Vice President of Mediterranean Climate House Foundation), Bankole Oloruntoba (CEO of Nigeria Climate Innovation Center), Walid Oueslati (Head of Climate and Biodiversity Division at OECD – OCDE), Irene Mia (Senior Fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies) and our Chairman & CEO Hirander Misra.

We then move to the intersection of traditional finance, digital assets and climate-focused fintech with Hirander Misra, Chairperson and CEO of GMEX Group, as he explains how ZERO13’s TechSprint award-winning blockchain innovation aims to scale sustainability efforts globally.

This is the session where financiers, CFOs, exchanges, fund managers, and sovereign risk assessors speak openly about the balance between capital access and market volatility – and where the next wave of funding will come from.
