The International African Energy, Oil and Gas Summit is set to return to Windhoek, Namibia, from October 6-9, 2025, for its fourth edition. This premier investment platform unites global financiers, high-profile project developers, and key players from Africa and the global energy landscape, according to a statement from the organisers on Wednesday.
It stated that Africa’s energy sector is ripe for investment, with the continent experiencing unprecedented momentum. In 2024 alone, the African energy sector attracted over $120bn in investments, with $75bn directed toward oil and gas development.
“Expanding on the success of previous editions, IAEOGS 2025 will be bigger and better as we bring together industry leaders and foster collaboration for a more resilient African Energy, oil and gas landscape,” the APM Chairman, Justice Suleiman Galadima (retd.), stated. He pointed out that Africa is not just rich in resources, but also rich in possibilities, adding that “the time to act is now.”
According to the Group CEO, Noah Ajare, “Africa’s energy sector is ripe for investment, and the IAEOGS 2025 summits and exhibition serve as a bridge connecting foreign companies and their African counterparts.”
The statement outlined the key highlights of IAEOGS 2025 to include $1bn+ in investment deals projected during summit week, 500+ curated, pre-vetted B2B meetings for deal facilitation, 1,000+ exhibitors spanning oil, gas, renewables, hydrogen, storage, infrastructure, and finance, and eight high-impact thematic tracks.
It outlined the thematic tracks to include energy transition strategies, local content development, infrastructure & grid expansion, climate finance & ESG, regulatory reforms & investment protection, gas monetisation & LNG, downstream & midstream value chains, and digitalisation & emerging technologies, among others.
Africa stands as one of the last frontiers for large-scale energy exploration and expansion, with over 125 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and 620 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The African Continental Free Trade Area is projected to unlock a $3.4tn market, with energy infrastructure at the heart of Africa’s economic future.
Local oil producers in Nigeria have significantly increased their contribution to national production, now accounting for over 50 per cent of the country’s crude oil output. Green Energy International’s launch of Nigeria’s first fully indigenous onshore crude export terminal at Otakikpo, with 360,000 barrels-per-day capacity, is expected to unlock stranded reserves across 40 marginal fields in the Niger Delta region. Green Energy International Ltd is the gold sponsor of IAEOGS 2025, according to the statement.
It added that registration for participants is already open, with companies headquartered in Namibia receiving a 50 per cent discount on the standard rate. The event will feature more than 1,000 delegates, 250 exhibitors, and 200 speakers from over 45 countries.
