Under the theme, ‘The Energy Mix: Positioning for Investment, industrialization and Growth’, this thought leadership event will convene energy stakeholders with investors and international partners to drive industry growth and development as well as promote Namibia and Africa as the destination for energy investments. Participating companies, international investors, service companies and various international delegations, will share updates on exploration activities, green hydrogen and regional gas and other ongoing projects and announce future projects while highlighting upcoming business and investment opportunities.
“This is a great opportunity for the private sector to get on board in our collective drive to highlight development and opportunities in the energy sector.” Stated Ndapwilapo Selma Shimutwikeni, Managing Director of RichAfrica
The conference will bring together various perspectives from across the energy value chain to serve as a catalyst for crucial conversations shaping the future of energy in Namibia and the rest of the continent.
“There are a lot of world-class energy producers active in the region, so it is important that their leadership join the conversation and showcase opportunities. We will bring international and regional players to help drive the discussions around energy development and transition, enabling environment, local content and capacity building and the development of an environmental safety culture.” Concluded Selma Shimutwikeni
The conference will take a close look at global and continental energy perspectives and their impact, the latest developments in the oil and gas industry, the status of the power&electricity market, the role of natural gas as well as the future of renewables. It will also feature relevant topics such as financing the energy sector, infrastructure development, ESG matters and the African Continental Free Trade Area.
