African industry and resource development forums
Overview
In October 2026, several major industry events are scheduled to address various sectors across the African continent.
African Energy Week (AEW) is set to take place in Cape Town from October 12–16, acting as a commercial marketplace for governments, companies, and financiers to negotiate energy projects and deal signings. Concurrently, the African Minerals Policy Forum – Mining in Motion (AMPF–MiM) 2026 will be held in Accra, Ghana, from October 19 to 21. This forum focuses on strengthening regional cooperation, policy alignment, and sustainable growth within the mining sector.
In Johannesburg, industry-focused summits are also being held to expand market access. These include the Cigar Culture Summit Africa 2026, which explores the development of the African cigar market and international partnerships, and the announcement of Securex Africa 2027, an expo scheduled for June 2027 to connect suppliers with buyers in the security, safety, and health sectors.
