Description
The U.S.-Africa energy relationship has evolved significantly in recent years, marked by growing public and private sector engagement, shared priorities around energy and development goals, and the urgent need to expand access to reliable, affordable energy. While dialogues and frameworks have set the foundation, there is a pressing need to accelerate delivery — from policy to project. Hear from leaders across government, industry, and finance who are driving this transformation and shaping the future of U.S.-Africa energy cooperation in action.
The plenary will highlight collaborative approaches, policy alignment, investment pathways, and innovative solutions driving impact across the continent’s energy sector.
