By Eyo Nsima
The first lineup of speakers for African Energy Week, AEW 2024, the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, service companies, technology providers, and governments has been released.
In a statement obtained by the African Energy Chamber, AEC, organisers of the event, stated: “We are proud to announce the initial group of high-level speakers who will drive discussions on investing in Africa’s energy future at African Energy Week (AEW) this November in Cape Town. Stay tuned, there are more speaker confirmations to come.
“Returning in 2024 as the biggest energy event to take place in Africa, AEW will once again unite African governments, national oil companies and think-tanks with global investors and project developers. AEW convenes under a common goal of making energy poverty history by 2030 and represents the premier platform to sign deals and advance projects in African energy.
“A focus on improving the regulatory environment for investment in Africa has led to the introduction of attractive fiscal terms and policies, further underscoring the competitiveness of investing in African energy.
“African national oil and gas companies are rapidly emerging as strong partners for global E&P companies, increasing their competitiveness and expertise while driving projects forward. A strong lineup of African NOCs will lead discussions around investment and partnership opportunities in Africa’s oil and gas-rich nations.
“Across both emerging and established energy markets, Africa offers robust opportunities for investors and project developers alike. Discoveries made in Namibia, Mauritania, Senegal, Mozambique, Ivory Coast and more have revealed frontier basins while efforts to increase reserve portfolios in producing countries such as Angola, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Gabon and more have triggered newfound investment prospects. A strong lineup of IOCs, independents and private E&P players will discuss ongoing projects, prospects and efforts to maximize Africa’s energy resources.”
