Invest in African Energy Forum 2027 in Paris

Invest in African Energy Forum returns to Paris from 11–13 May 2027, gathering ministers, national and international oil companies, development banks and private equity funds to advance financing for African energy. The programme expands this year with dedicated forums on critical minerals, frontier exploration, capital allocation and grid convergence. Across three days, more than 1,200 attendees from 35 countries exchange on live licensing rounds, gas and LNG projects, gas-to-power schemes and structured finance vehicles. Beyond plenaries, the schedule includes B2G sessions, country spotlights and bilateral matchmaking designed to move partnerships into signed agreements. For delegates travelling to Paris, staying in the 8th arrondissement or around the Champs-Élysées keeps both the venue and side meetings within easy reach. Hotel rates in the area climb during forum week, so early booking is strongly advised.
