The Nigeria Energy Exhibition and Conference is set to bring together key stakeholders from the energy sector as it returns to advance the region’s clean energy transition.
The 11th edition, featuring some of the most innovative companies in power generation, transmission, distribution, renewable energy, and energy management, will be held from October 15 to 17, 2024, in Lagos.
Organized by Informa Markets, a leading global exhibitions organizer, and under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Power, the 2024 event is themed ‘Breaking Barriers in the New Energy Era: Clean, Reliable, and Sustainable.’
Continuing its focus on addressing the pressing issue of energy access, the event will include two significant conferences: a high-level Leadership Summit (a paid feature) and a Technical Seminar.
The Nigeria Energy Leadership Summit, a pivotal event for West Africa’s power market, will host key industry experts, investors, and local players to discuss pathways for achieving the region’s energy transition goals.
The Technical Seminar will showcase cutting-edge innovations and technologies in energy generation, transmission, and distribution. It will serve as a knowledge-sharing platform for energy innovators, providing insights into industry best practices and the latest scientific advancements.
Exhibition Director – Energy portfolio – MEA, Informa Markets, Ade Yesufu, said “Nigeria and West Africa are at a pivotal moment in their energy journey, where the focus is not only on increasing access but also on transitioning to cleaner, more sustainable power solutions”.
Even with vast natural resources, the region has struggled to attract investment opportunities which is critical to reducing energy poverty.
“The Nigeria Energy Exhibition and Conference has consistently brought together key players to drive collaboration and innovation.
“This year, we are placing a strong focus on powering the energy transition in West Africa which underscores our commitment to advancing practical solutions that address the region’s energy challenges while supporting its green energy future,” he stressed.
For the 2024 edition, Nigeria Energy launched the Energy-X Contest as a premier endeavor aimed at nurturing and empowering exceptional students and young Africans in the realm of innovation, especially in the energy industry.
As a part of this initiative, a specialized incubation program was curated with the mission of creating a dynamic ecosystem where young entrepreneurs are equipped with the skills, network, and support to build successful ventures that positively impact society.
