Day One Set the Tone and Day Two is Already Building on it

As the second day of the Africa Energies Summit 2026 gets underway, the industry is already reflecting on an exceptional Africa Strategy Briefing on Monday and opening day of the Summit Day yesterday.

From the moment delegates arrived, the pace was relentless. Within the first 90 minutes of the Summit, attendees heard from senior industry leaders during the Opening Ministerial Address from H.E Diamantino Pedro Azevedo, Ministry of Mineral Resources, Petroleum & Gas, Republic of Angola, an exclusive Executive Briefing from Mathios Rigas, CEO Energean, and the renowned Leaders Panel featuring Eugene Okpere - Shell, Kevin McLachlan - Chevron, Aldo Napolitano - Eni, Kristian K. Johansen - TGS and Giuseppina Ragone - Equinor.

These and each of the following were sessions and roundtables were packed with the insight, strategic direction and market intelligence that continue to make this Summit a cornerstone of the African upstream calendar.

Across every room, the unmistakable Africa Energies atmosphere that brings together governments, NOCs, operators, investors and service companies from across the global energy sector.

And as always, the momentum carried way beyond the Summit stages with the London Leaders’ Reception sponsored by Woodside Energy and VIP Dinner sponsored by TGS, creating new introductions, strengthening partnerships and reconnecting familiar faces from across the industry.
