At the Africa Energy Forum (aef) 2026, the conversation shifts from access as an endpoint to power as an enabler of industry, growth and scale.
This is about what it takes to industrialise: reliable baseload, modern grids, diversified energy systems and hard infrastructure built to run factories, data centres and fast-growing cities—24/7. From Dubai, a city shaped by pragmatic ambition, aef 2026 champions an African energy narrative grounded in delivery, growth and a just transition that works for Africa.
