African Energy Week 2026 to bring global energy leaders to Cape Town
African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 will bring together energy leaders, investors, policymakers and industry stakeholders in Cape Town from October 12 to 16 for discussions focused on investment and the development of Africa’s energy sector.
Taking place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre, the event is expected to attract more than 9 000 delegates from over 100 countries, providing a platform for industry engagement, networking and deal-making.
Held under the theme “Invest in African Energies: Affordable and Abundant Energy Additions”, AEW 2026 will convene government representatives, national oil companies, utilities, financiers, project developers and private-sector leaders.
Discussions will focus on the opportunities and challenges shaping Africa’s evolving energy landscape, while providing participants with an opportunity to engage with decision-makers, explore potential investment opportunities and establish new industry connections.
The event will also provide a platform for companies and investors seeking to expand their presence across African energy markets and gain insight into emerging projects and industry developments.
