Germany has been significantly expanding its investments in Africa in recent months, particularly in green energy and sustainable projects. The country has pledged €4 billion for green energy initiatives on the continent by 2030 and is advancing hydrogen and gas partnerships through the European Union’s Global Gateway initiative. In December 2024, Germany further demonstrated its commitment by investing R5.2 billion in South Africa to support the country’s energy transition and strengthen bilateral cooperation.

In Namibia, German investors have partnered on the $10 billion Hyphen Green Hydrogen Project, aiming to utilize the country’s abundant solar and wind resources to produce green ammonia for global export. In December 2024, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier visited Nigeria to discuss the future prospects for German-Nigerian energy collaboration, further solidifying the growing energy ties between Germany and the continent.

The IAE 2025 Forum serves as a crucial platform for connecting global capital and expertise with Africa’s burgeoning energy sector. As European and global investors continue to deepen their investments and partnerships across the continent, the forum provides a unique opportunity to further explore collaborative efforts and advance Africa’s energy transition. By bringing together key players from the global energy community, IAE 2025 will play a pivotal role in driving sustainable growth and innovation in Africa’s energy future.
