— 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.
