As the countdown beings to African Energy Week in Cape Town, high level platinum sponsors enhance the event’s role as a driver of Africa’s economic growth and development.
With several high-level platinum sponsorships confirmed, African Energy Week (AEW) 2021 promises to be instrumental in spearheading Africa’s energy transition, rethinking the future of financing oil and gas in Africa, and positioning the continent on a reformed path to energy sector success. To date, the African Finance Corporation (AFC); the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC); QSL Gas & Power Ltd. (QSL-GP); and Atlas Oranto have all been confirmed as platinum sponsors for AEW 2021. Taking the lead in panel discussions and highlighting the key roles of collaborative partnerships within the energy sector, the platinum sponsors are critical for AEW 2021 as the conference moves to enhance investment and development across the continent.
As a platinum sponsor, the AFC will be instrumental in driving developmental discussions with key global and African stakeholders. Representing Africa’s leading investment institution, the AFC has and continues to prioritize funding solutions for projects in the power, transportation and logistics, heavy industries and natural resources sectors. At AEW 2021, the AFC is committed to driving the discussion on financing Africa’s energy future, making a strong case for domestic financing tools within the oil and gas sector, and offering insights into investment strategies that will drive the continent’s energy transition.
Additionally, among the platinum sponsors is the GNPC, one of Africa’s most esteemed national oil companies (NOC). As a platinum sponsor, the GNPC will drive the discussion on African NOCs, by not only participating but leading the NOC forum taking place at the event. By providing an overview of Ghana’s state of exploration, licensing, and distribution regarding petroleum-related activities, the GNPC is committed to unlocking investment across multiple sectors in the country and will drive this at AEW 2021 in Cape Town.
Meanwhile, with Nigerian energy companies having established their presence at AEW 2021, two of the country’s top oil and gas companies have come on board as platinum sponsors. Notably, Atlas Oranto Group, a leading Nigerian-based oil and gas company currently in possession of 22 oil and gas licenses in 12 jurisdictions, has confirmed their participation and sponsorship of AEW 2021 in Cape Town. By sharing their in-depth knowledge of west Africa’s energy sector at AEW 2021, the Atlas Oranto Group will both enhance and drive the conversation on Africa’s upstream market, promoting the role that oil and gas exploration continues to play in Africa’s energy future.
Furthermore, QSL-GP, a gas-focused Nigerian energy company expanding its footprint in regional markets, has also been confirmed as one of AEW 2021’s platinum sponsors. With a mandate to enhance the utilization of natural gas within the industrial and power sectors in Nigeria and the wider region, QSL-GP is focused on providing key solutions and innovative approaches to gas distribution in west Africa. As a platinum sponsor of AEW 2021, QSL-GP will drive the discussion on the role of gas as a transitionary resource to Africa’s clean energy future, motivating for increased infrastructure investments and regional collaboration.
As platinum sponsors, the AFC, GNPC, Atlas Oranto and QSL-GP will be instrumental in leading the event’s panel discussions and networking sessions. These companies not only represent some of Africa’s top energy organizations, but their sponsorship further positions AEW 2021 as Africa’s top energy event. Recognized as a key driver of Africa’s energy and economic development, AEW 2021 provides the best platform for engagement among stakeholders, networking among industry players, and partnerships between leading executives.
AEW 2021, in partnership with South Africa’s Department of Mineral Resources and Energy DMRE, is the AEC’s annual conference, exhibition and networking event. AEW 2021 unites African energy stakeholders with investors and international partners to drive industry growth and development and promote Africa as the destination for energy investments.
