The Egypt Energy Leadership Conference 2023 was held on the 29th, 30th, and 31st of October at the Egypt International Exhibition Centre in halls 3 and 4.
Egypt’s ongoing aspirations for renewable energy are highlighted by a number of new mega projects in the fields of power production and grid infrastructure. By 2035, the Egyptian government wants to see 42% of the country’s electricity come from renewable sources. Power trading and the export of excess “clean electricity” would support regional economic and social growth. Some of the major drivers of the rapid infrastructure development required to satisfy the energy goal include partnerships, 4IR, digitization, and automation.
What is the Egypt Energy Leadership Conference?
After the enormous success of the 1st edition, the 2nd Annual Egypt Energy Leadership Conference once again brought together notable leaders and stakeholders driving the energy and utilities sectors forward. The conference is held under the patronage of the Egyptian Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy and with the support of the Ministry of Environment. This conference provides a forum for conversations, deliberations, and the exchange of ideas concerning diverse facets of energy leadership, encompassing renewable energy, sustainability, and innovative approaches.
The event hosted government officials, investors, and senior industry experts from Egypt, as well as key countries involved in trade and cooperation with Egypt.
