Deep Dive Dialogues: Partner-Led Perspectives on Africa’s Energy Transformation

The FEC 2026 side events are partner-led, interactive sessions designed to complement and extend the main conference discussions. Convened by partner institutions, development partners, governments, agencies, and sector specialists, these events provide a platform to delve deeper into plenary themes and broader Conference focus, offering practical insights, technology demonstrations, and drive targeted actionable policy dialogue. The FEC 2026 side events are leveraging partner expertise and aligning with plenary discussions to ensure that conference dialogues translate into actionable strategies, collaborative partnerships, and practical interventions that advance Africa’s energy access, industrial competitiveness, and sustainable development objectives.

Key objectives of the side events include:

  1. Deepening technical and policy engagement: Unpacking complex issues such as energy infrastructure readiness and policy alignment, industrial energy intensity, and regional value chain development.
  2. Showcasing solutions and innovations: Presenting emerging energy technologies, pilot projects, and scalable interventions that address cost, reliability, and sustainability challenges.
  3. Fostering partnerships and investments: Creating spaces for governments, investors, developers, and civil society to explore collaborative models, co-develop projects, and de-risk energy and industrial initiatives
  4. Promoting inclusion and capacity building: Highlighting gender- and youth-focused initiatives, as well as community-driven models that support equitable access and value addition in Africa’s energy-industrial landscape.

Focus Areas and Relevance

Proposals should align with either the overarching theme or at least one of the Conference thematic areas:

1.   The Economics of Power: Understanding Africa’s Energy Cost Structure
2.   Technology Pathways for Competitive Industrial Energy
3.   Regional integration and energy trade
4.   Financing Industrial Energy Infrastructure
5.   Energy Systems and Policy Alignment for Industrial Competitiveness
