ABOUT
AFRICA IN FOCUS 

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH Africa Economic Summit Group

What role will Africa play in helping the world to meet current Oil & Gas demand?

Our Africa themed sessions at the World Energy Capital Assembly 2022 explored how the continent can plot a pragmatic transition, next steps for oil & gas project investment and Africa’s role as an alternative source of gas supply.

We welcomed 100+ senior energy executives dedicated to re-defining the energy transition on the continent, and the financiers and investors fully committed to supporting the emerging gas and infrastructure projects in the Africa region.
