African Energy Week (AEW) is the continent’s leading international energy conference, uniting energy leaders, global investors, and policymakers from across the public and private sectors. Each edition reinforces its role in shaping Africa’s energy future, advancing investment and partnerships with the ultimate goal of ending energy poverty.

AEW 2026 builds on this momentum, placing Africa at the center of the global energy conversation. By uniting stakeholders across upstream, midstream, downstream, renewables, and services, it remains the continent’s only conference representing the entire energy sector on the international stage.

As the continent’s largest gathering of international energy stakeholders, AEW brings together over 9,000 industry leaders, government officials, investors, and energy executives from more than 100 countries. Whether you’re looking to expand your business, gain critical industry insights, or connect with key stakeholders, attending AEW will give you the access, knowledge, and opportunities you need to stay ahead in Africa’s evolving energy landscape.
