  • The African Energy Forum 2021 event was very successful, and I would like to thank you for all your support. The venue is very well situated, the conference room was perfect, and lunch in reception worked very well. From my perspective, the way you managed the aef21 was great, and the event days were exemplary. We will be back with more success, Inchallah, at aef 2022

  • Thank you again for your assistance during the aef event. After the Country Project Spotlight: Ghana session, we were inundated with investors wanting to meet with us for further discussions. I want to say a big thank you for giving us the opportunity. Since the meeting, six investors have travelled to Ghana for other discussions on development opportunities in RE development.

  • It was an intense few days and, for me, a perfect opportunity to catch up with many people, explain SAPP’s current project development plans in more detail, and get more feedback than is possible over online meetings. I have a lot of following up to do. Thank you for all your efforts in getting it together.

  • AEF indeed brings everyone to one place. The conference provided an extremely valuable opportunity to convene with key partners, meet new ones, learn about new initiatives, and confirm the trends we’ve seen across our portfolio... The invitees were spot-on – the people I spoke to were ready and able to speak to the details of deals and technologies, and the result was that it felt like a very productive week.
