About Us | Invest in African Energy | Paris

Invest in African Energy was the continent's premier forum outside of Africa. Celebrating its 4th edition, this highly curated forum provided opportunities for international and African delegates to collaborate and discover new avenues for investment, while making a tangible impact on economic diversification, regional integration, employment opportunities, and the electrification of the region.

The forum served to attract technical and financial partners to develop the continent’s leading energy prospects. IAE 2026 focused on catalyzing new sources of capital, from development finance institutions and multilateral development banks to private equity and pension funds, while promoting the role of diversified energy investment in supporting Africa’s energy security and transition.

The next edition, marking the 5th Invest in African Energy forum, will take place on 7-8 April 2027.

High-profile speakers have included the Republic of Congo’s Minister of Hydrocarbons Bruno Jean-Richard Itoua and Gabon’s Minister among others, unpacking dynamic trade, investment and partnership opportunities for pipeline projects across the continent, as well as strategies to ensure the security and stability of assets while minimizing environmental impact.
