Inside the 9th edition.
Two days, 1,400 delegates and the deals that followed. Photography from the 9th Africa Energy Summit.
— Why attend
The conversations that move projects.
Every session is built for people who leave with something to act on — a contact, a term sheet, a contract, or a clearer line of sight on policy.
01
Meet the decision-makers
Operators, regulators and financiers in one room for two days — the people who can approve, fund or licence what you are working on.
02
Find the capital
Pre-booked deal room sessions matching project sponsors with the DFIs, banks and funds deploying into African energy now.
03
Do business on the floor
Forty-five booths of technology, fabrication and service providers — proven against African operating conditions, not a brochure.
04
Build industrial capacity
Local content, fabrication and skills sessions for the people building the base that keeps energy security from depending on imports.
