AEW covers the entire energy spectrum, from oil, gas and LNG to critical minerals, green hydrogen, power, and renewables. Investors and operators gain a clear view of the full project pipeline, discovering opportunities at every stage of development across upstream, midstream, downstream and power markets.

Where Africa's energy policies and projects take shape

AEW provides a platform for governments to outline national strategies, present investment opportunities, and engage directly with industry.
