By bringing together stakeholders from diverse sectors including hydrogen, renewables, power, transportation, and heavy industry, the Summit paves the way for a connected and prosperous Africa. Through tailored feedback, collaborations, and access to a diverse array of projects, the Roundtables offer a unique opportunity for investors to engage with industry leaders and shape the continent's green energy landscape.
