The AEW this year was a unique one because it really rallied personalities across the continent to come together to address key topics affecting the energy industry, and it was amazing seeing various leaders in a panel discussing each person, trying to make sure he convinced the audience so as to attract investment just like what the Minister of Mineral resources, oil and gas of Angola, Minister of Mines and Energy of Namibia, Minister of Petroleum of Gabon and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources of Nigeria were all engaged to call for investment in their various countries. They said the government is ready to regularise their laws to attract investment in energy sectors. That was a huge push from both ministries. It was really amazing. Indeed; we also had a summit for financing from various countries who came and said that they are ready to finance energy projects. Gala Night and awards were something worth it, as well as the jet energy concert from amazing artists. Almost 7000 attendees from across the world came for this event. It was an incredible experience, and we hope next year will be more than this one.

AEW2024 surpassed the previous evenpp23ts. The organizing team pulled all stops with the aesthetics and was very bold in expressing the essence of Africa. The speakers were excellent and well prepared. We appreciate the quality and calibre of the discussions as they bring to the surface the challenges and possibilities that the continent is dealing with. Collaboration is key!

I've always enjoyed Africa Energy Week since its inception, and it continues to grow year on year. However, this is a significant platform for industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to convene and address Africa's energy challenges and opportunities. The event facilitated insightful discussions on critical topics such as energy access, renewable energy integration, and financing solutions. The exhibition showcased a diverse range of innovative technologies and projects, highlighting the growing potential of Africa's energy sector.

My first time attending African Energy Week and it certainly feels like it has become THE African energy conference, based on the number of high level attendees from both governments and companies. My main reason for attending is the intelligence I can gather in the talks and conversations.

Of all the African energy sector conferences I have joined, African Energy Week has the highest-profile attendance. This includes both public- and private-sector attendees. This makes AEW the ultimate networking opportunity in the industry and includes panels with insights from the very top of the sector.

I had an amazing time at AEW. It was a great opportunity to learn from industry leaders, network with professionals and gain valuable insights into Africa’s energy future. The experience was both inspiring and enriching.

Such conference It's very important because it brings together all involved people gives them an opportunity to know last news to exchange some opinion, to exchange some views to hear each other what it's possible to do for African energy needs

I think this is a great event because it brings together the authorities in a number of countries and the companies big and small. So, I think over the next few days, I mean, there's a good opportunity to meet. I'll personally will meet with a number of the representatives from the countries in which we operate, I'll meet with a number of other companies here as well.

first of all, is that this is a great forum. It's Africa for Africans. Yeah, we have, you know, invitees and all of that, but it's the biggest forum where, you know, you touch the Angolan, you touch the Mozambican, you touch, you feel warm. And that's very energizing, since we're talking about energy. That's very energizing. 12:28 I personally have gained a lot just

I've got to speak from the perspective that this is the third African Energy Week I've had the opportunity to attend. And having observed from the first I attended in 2021 and last year, this year, I appreciate that even the conversations that occur have a follower. And I think it's again the genuine drive to utilize this opportunity to where Africans are conversing with fellow Africans to take forward generally the solutions that have been arrived at. So, I think that for me must be highlighted with the actual implementation and progression of those particular agreements that have been established. It also makes us realize that this Africa needs us to act and no one is going to do it for us. It reiterates that message and it's important. It's important to know that it is in our hands and we are capable.

This is my second Energy Week. Bigger and better than last year, so very well done to all of the organizers. It has been a wonderful, wonderful week, full of engaging sessions, presentations, panels. Fantastic side events, cocktails, receptions and I've really enjoyed learning more about how we can all collectively work together to end energy poverty in Africa. Thank you very much and I'm looking forward to Energy Week 2024.

I think what's important is for the first time as a scientist, I've got to see the link between investment and science and knowledge and all of these coming together. And I think this forum is a good place that all of these aspects can join together. And I think there may be an opportunity for more institutions, more schools, even like ourselves to come back and actually share the conceptions that the youth have about energy because I guarantee it's very different from what I'm learning at the conference.

Well, this is, I think, the third edition of African Energy Week. It's grown into a monster, it's really big, it's a very busy program. They could have even perhaps spread it over a longer time, you know, and still kept us all busy and interested. I've attended a few sessions, some plenaries, I've met with a lot of people. Conferencing for me is a combination of maintaining and growing networks, which is hugely important in this and every industry.

I really enjoyed the conference and I found the discussion very insightful. I think the African Energy Week has potential to grow. One of the things I think I enjoy, which we need to encourage, is the fact that it's bringing African countries in terms of private and public sector, so it's not just private sector during, but also the combination of both private sector and from different countries coming together to try to harness the potentials within Africa. And one of the things I was said by one of the speakers yesterday, which I found quite interesting, was the fact that African countries need to start having discussions around uniting and putting together in terms of standards for Africa. I'm impressed with the fact that the United States and Saudi Arabia were very well represented.

I would like to start by thanking NJ and the team for the wonderful organization of this event. This has been a good platform where I was able to leverage and engage with senior leaders in the oil and gas industry. The panels were very high quality, I was able to learn a lot, make loads of good contacts. See you next year.
