"Dear Esteemed Industry Colleagues,

It is with great anticipation and excitement that I invite you to join us for the Africa Energy Technology Conference 2026 (AETC), a historic gathering that represents a bold step forward in Africa's energy journey.

Following the incredible success of our inaugural event, this sophomore conference and exhibition builds on the momentum to explore the critical theme: "Innovate, Invest, Implement: Revolutionised Financing for Sustainable Energy Sector Growth in Africa." In a world where energy is the foundation of economic development, Africa stands at the crossroads of unparalleled opportunity.

AETC is the first energy technology-driven conference in Africa spearheaded by an African woman. This distinction reflects our commitment to inclusivity and the empowerment of voices that have been too often excluded from the global energy dialogue."
