The upcoming Invest in African Energy (IAE) Forum, taking place in Paris on May 13-14, 2025, stands at the forefront of investment and policy decisions that will define the continent’s energy future. Set to convene key stakeholders, global investors and government leaders across a two-day agenda, IAE 2025 provides a unique platform for industry leaders to discuss emerging trends, forge strategic partnerships and report on the most pressing issues shaping Africa’s energy landscape.
Major Industry Announcements and Deals
IAE has established itself as the premier platform for high-impact energy deals and policy commitments outside of the African continent. Past editions have seen the signing of key agreements, the launch of groundbreaking projects and the unveiling of strategic partnerships that drive Africa’s energy agenda forward. Journalists covering IAE 2025 will gain firsthand access to exclusive announcements, making it a prime opportunity to break major news.
Exclusive Access to Top Decision-Makers
IAE 2025 will bring together African heads of state, energy ministers, CEOs of major oil and gas companies and international investors. Media attendees will have the opportunity to conduct high-profile interviews, gaining insights directly from the individuals shaping energy policy and investment in Africa. Confirmed attendees include ministers and delegations from Liberia, Senegal, Gabon, the Republic of Congo, Mauritania, Uganda and Namibia, alongside leading IOCs such as Perenco, TotalEnergies, Eni, Afentra and Trident Energy. This event offers rare access to decision-makers who are otherwise difficult to engage, providing journalists with valuable content for in-depth reporting.
Critical Discussions on Energy Transition and Financing
As Africa balances its traditional energy resources with the push for renewables, IAE 2025 will serve as a crucial platform for discussing the continent’s energy transition strategies. Sessions will explore how African nations can secure financing for both hydrocarbons and renewables, addressing key questions on private equity involvement, ESG considerations and global investment trends. Dedicated sessions on LNG, downstream expansion, technology services, mature assets, energy infrastructure, power generation and global energy partnerships will be held, all with a strong focus on maximizing investor returns.
On-the-Ground Insights from Emerging Markets
While global energy discussions often focus on established markets, IAE 2025 puts Africa’s emerging energy players in the spotlight. From frontier oil and gas developments to breakthroughs in renewable energy, the event will showcase the latest industry shifts across markets that are rapidly gaining international interest. Country and regional spotlights on South Africa, Liberia, Sierra Leone, North Africa and more will highlight current projects, investment opportunities and licensing rounds, giving delegates exclusive access to analyze and report on these emerging developments.
Unparalleled Networking and Media Opportunities
Beyond conference sessions and keynote speeches, IAE 2025 presents an unmatched networking environment for media professionals. With dedicated press briefings, media lounges and interview zones, journalists will have direct access to industry leaders and fellow reporters covering Africa’s energy sector. This environment fosters collaboration, idea exchange and the chance to establish connections that extend well beyond the event.
