About the event

Energizing Africa 2026, Where policy, innovation & investment meet.

 

Energizing Africa 2026 marks the third edition of an international conference and exhibition dedicated to advancing collaboration between Europe and Africa in the field of renewable and sustainable energy. Hosted in Maribor, then Ljubljana, Slovenia, the event serves as a vital platform for fostering dialogue, showcasing innovation, and creating partnerships that drive the transition towards clean energy systems. Building upon the success of the 2024 and 2025 editions, this year’s conference in Selnica ob Dravi, organized with leading Slovenian and European partners, focuses on EU–Africa cooperation and advancing net-zero, energy access, and sustainable industrial growth through innovation and technology.

This unprecedented meeting aims to:

  • Create a bridge between African national/local governments and EU municipalities, businesses, and institutions.
  • Understand and articulate the needs of African partners in the green energy and smart city sectors.
  • Present partners capabilities, technologies, and business interests.
  • Explore opportunities through EU cooperation programs, international organisations and specialized financing instruments.
  • Initiate work on a practical guide (manual) for EU and Slovenian companies on how to operate safely and effectively in African markets.
  • Encourage the formation of business consortia capable of offering integrated solutions required by African partners.
  • Strengthen political, economic and people-to-people ties between the regions.

In parallel with the conference, a High-Level Meeting between African Partner Countries and Slovenian Stakeholders on Green Energy Cooperation will be organized, providing an additional opportunity for direct engagement with Slovenian municipalities, companies, financial institutions, and regional partners.

The conference offers African partner countries a dedicated space to:

  • Present national and local renewable energy priorities and investment opportunities
  • Opportunities to showcase expertise during B2B meetings, investment sessions, and virtual exhibitions
  • Participate in country and project presentations, B2B meetings, and high-level policy discussions
  • Networking within a trusted platform focused on long-term, results-driven partnerships
  • Engage directly with European policymakers, financiers, and technology providers
  • Explore cooperation frameworks under EU initiatives such as Global Gateway and the Africa–EU Green Energy Initiative and many more.

What our participants say about us!

"I have the pleasure to announce that ICPE has, thanks to your invitation to participate at the Second Energizing Africa Conference in October 2025, identified Dr Vlasta Krmelj as a potential collaborator at one of our endeavors, for which I am really grateful to you.( David Tavzelj, Executive Director ICPE)"

"Please allow me to share my sincere impression of the even. First and foremost, I must say that I truly do not know how you managed to organize everything so seamlessly what you achieved was extraordinary. What impressed me most, however, was the atmosphere of the event. It was relaxed, genuine, warm, and welcoming, completely different from many other events I have attended. The sense of openness and helpfulness created a truly unique experience. We were able to establish real, meaningful business connections, while the organization and catering were exceptional. Everything was exactly as it should be, and we are genuinely grateful to you for taking on and delivering such an outstanding event.” (Vladimir Sunjevaric CEO VOLENTE LLC)"

"Thank you for organizing an interesting event. (Tadej Dobravc Verbič Spirit Slovenia)"
