Africa stands at the cusp of the energy revolution with vast untapped renewable energy resources. This represents an important opportunity for economic growth and sustainable development across the continent, particularly in French-speaking countries. With abundant natural resources and growing energy demand, the region is poised to benefit from green energy business and investment.

This conference aims to bring together industry leaders, investors, policy makers and stakeholders to explore the dynamic potential of renewable energy and discuss strategies for sustainable growth and development.

 

Objectives

- To present the current landscape and future prospects of renewable energy in Africa, focusing on Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, etc.

- Emphasize business and investment opportunities in the renewable energy sector.

- Present the current landscape of Slovenia and business opportunities in the field of renewable energy sources.

- Facilitate networking and partnerships between stakeholders.

- Discuss challenges and solutions for sustainable development.

- To present various companies presenting their products, services and technology in the renewable energy sector.

Energy needs in Africa are increasing rapidly due to population growth, urbanization and industrialization. With their growing economies, French-speaking African countries are in direct need of sustainable energy solutions to meet their future energy needs. 

The region is rich in renewable resources: Solar energy: the high level of solar illumination is an excellent opportunity for solar energy projects.  - Wind energy: Coastal areas and some inland regions have great potential for wind farms.  -Hydropower: Many rivers offer opportunities for small to large hydropower.  - Biomass and geothermal energy: these resources are also available and can be exploited for energy production. 

 

Key topics covered:

- The current situation of renewable energy in the regions of French Africa

- Technological progress in the field of solar, wind, water and geothermal energy

- Government policy and regulatory environments

- Case studies of successful renewable energy projects

 

Business and investment opportunities:

Africa's renewable energy sector offers tremendous business and investment opportunities. The demand for reliable and affordable energy solutions is driving the growth of solar power plants, wind power plants, hydroelectric power plants and off-grid solutions. As a result, many governments in French-speaking Africa are implementing policies to promote renewable energy sources. International organizations and financial institutions also provide support through financial and technical assistance. 

There is a large market for renewable energy technologies ranging from small home solar systems to large scale renewable energy power plants. Business and investment opportunities include: 

-Solar power plants - Wind power plants - Hydropower plants - Off-grid and mini-grid solutions - Renewable energy storage solutions 

The transition to renewable energy is not only about economic growth, but also about ensuring environmental sustainability. Africa's shift to clean energy can mitigate the impacts of climate change, reduce carbon footprints and promote environmental stewardship.
