And we think that’s pretty clear when you check out the first images released from 2025's World Energies Summit!

Egypt’s upstream story continues to evolve rapidly - driven by innovation, collaboration, and transformative digital access.

The Nigeria Showcase Session on Day 1 of the World Energies Summit will spotlight the wealth of opportunities emerging in Nigeria’s upstream sector.

It sits at the heart of all industrial development and in May this year, we celebrated the very best performance when it comes to powering growth and innovation across African upstream activity.

Entering the oil and gas sector for the first time is never simple. For governments, it means balancing sovereignty and competitiveness; for investors, aligning ambition with complex political realities.

Our Platinum Government Showcases continue to prove themselves as the premier platform for connecting with upstream’s most influential decision-makers.

With over 200 companies and government bodies represented, our list of C-Suite attendees reflects the global impact of this Summit upon upstream activity across Asia Pacific, Europe & the Eastern Med, Middle East & North Africa, The Americas, Africa, and Caspian & Central Asia.

AI is at the top of many agendas across the global upstream industry; we all know it has the potential to enhance and transform.

Here's how to kick off Africa's premier global upstream conference..!

Navigating the future of energy

The upstream sector has always been global in nature, this is what makes it so exciting to be a part of - capital moves across borders, technology is shared across basins, and discoveries and changes in policy in one part of the world can shift sentiment everywhere else as illustrated by Trump's policies.

Trusted by global investors across emerging markets, our long-standing Geopolitical Partner, Horizon Engage, is widely acknowledged to be changing the game when it comes to geopolitical intelligence.
