Renegade Intel Hub is designed for thinkers, builders, and disruptors. This fast paced forum features 10 to 15 minute presentations and open, unstructured debates. From breakthrough technologies and unusual business models to market-shifting concepts, this is where technology and innovation in African energy gets its first real audience.

Africa’s shale gas resources have the potential to strengthen energy security, support industrial growth, and transform regional energy systems. However, unlocking these resources requires more than geology alone. It demands a clear understanding of unconventional extraction technologies, fit-for-purpose regulatory frameworks, and environmentally responsible operating practices tailored to African markets.

Exploring how Africa can attract private and institutional investors, unlock domestic capital pools, scale successful PPP models, and harmonize financing across borders to drive oil and gas infrastructure development.
