Scores of African governments and business officials are expected in Hamburg on March 27 and 28 to take part in the 13th German-African Energy Forum. Under the theme “Realising & Financing Africa’s Energy Revolution”, the forum will highlight the most promising areas for investment opportunities and energy cooperation between German companies and Africa, including smart energy systems, waste-to-energy, renewable energies, hybrid systems and energy financing. “Germany is a key partner for Africa, and German technology and know-how will be key in addressing Africa’s energy challenges,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman at the African Energy Chamber. German companies are global leaders in renewable energy, off-grid solutions, gas-to-power and the development of power infrastructure, especially in the transmission & distribution area, said NJ Ayuk. Since 2006, the forum has attracted almost 4.000 participants and delegates from 52 African countries.
