THE STRATEGIC CONFERENCE

Shaping a Sustainable Future for Africa’s Energy Industry Through Partnerships

Building on a decade of success, the SAIPEC 2026 Strategic Conference returns with an impactful agenda, crafted by an esteemed steering committee of key industry leaders and stakeholders.

The 10th edition conference will bring together thought leaders and decision-makers to explore how strategic partnerships can drive the future of Africa's energy sector. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration, the conference will focus on harnessing the region’s energy potential through diverse and forward-thinking approaches.

Over the course of three days, participants will delve into critical discussions on the latest developments and opportunities across both conventional and renewable energy sectors. The agenda will cover a wide spectrum, including hydrocarbons, renewable energy technologies, energy transition strategies and emerging digital innovations, with expert-led presentations and in-depth panel sessions.

The conference will also provide unique networking opportunities, offering a platform for cross-border collaborations with local, regional and global organisations. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the future of energy in Sub-Saharan Africa and be part of an inclusive, professional environment that fosters meaningful connections.

Join us in 2026 for a transformative SAIPEC conference that shapes the sustainable energy landscape of Africa and sets the stage for a collaborative and thriving future.
