Sunny Ofehe, senior special assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Diaspora Investment, has been announced as the chairman of the Organising Committee for the forth-coming sustainability, opportunity, future, technologies (SOFT) conference in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Ofehe, vast in diaspora engagement and international business mobilization, is already setting a remarkable tone for what is expected to be a landmark event.
A statement issued by the organisers, stated that “His leadership has not only inspired confidence among stakeholders but has also galvanised top European CEOs, hedge fund managers, venture capitalists, civil society leaders and EU government representatives into action.”
At a recent roundtable he convened in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Ofehe discussed the SOFT Conference, Africa’s emerging economic potentials, and the vast investment opportunities in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
“This strategic meeting served as a prelude to the Dubai conference and generated renewed excitement about the continent’s future.”
Speaking during the Rotterdam gathering, Ofehe emphasized his unwavering commitment to mobilizing European investors and corporate leaders to not just attend the SOFT Conference, but to explore concrete partnerships that will shape the future of Africa through innovation, sustainability, and inclusive development.
“We are not just hosting a conference; we are building bridges, unlocking investment pipelines, and telling Africa’s story through the lens of opportunity, technology, and shared prosperity,” he said.
The organisers said: “The SOFT Conference Dubai promises to be a melting pot of global ideas, with Dubai serving as the perfect neutral ground for high-level networking, strategic alliances, and investment matchmaking.”
His efforts have already sparked anticipation among a growing list of European business leaders eager to be part of this transformative dialogue.
“It is a powerful purpose-driven gathering that will leave an indelible mark on Africa’s investment and innovation landscape,” the statement added.
