Africa Energy Market Place

The Africa Energy Market Place (AEMP) is the African Development Bank Group’s flagship annual forum to showcase investment opportunities within the continent’s energy sector. It serves as a nexus for stakeholders to engage in policy discourse, evaluate regulatory challenges, explore investment delivery models, and propose solutions to overcome barriers inhibiting scale up of investment. The platform convenes key players representing African governments, the private sector, and development partners to exchange insights and collaborate on targeted themes, all aimed at eliminating barriers to investments.
