African energy investment and development summits

Overview

Major energy conferences in Africa are focusing on transitioning from exploration to resource development and securing continental investment. Following the 4th Namibia Oil and Gas Conference in Windhoek, which emphasized local empowerment and job creation, Namibia was selected to host the 2026 International African Energy, Oil and Gas Summit (IAEOGS) in October. This summit, relocated from Doha, aims to address infrastructure deficits and mobilize financing.

Concurrently, the agenda for African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 in Cape Town has been released. Scheduled for mid-October, the event focuses on “Affordable and Abundant Energy Additions for Africa.” Discussions are set to cover deepwater exploration and gas development, specifically highlighting Angola’s offshore future and Mozambique’s gas resources, including TotalEnergies’ planned investments in the region.
