IAEOGS 2026 is the definitive platform where the global energy industry meets Africa’s opportunity. Scheduled for October 20–24, 2026, at the Hilton Hotel in Windhoek, Namibia, this edition serves as the ultimate hub for deal-making, high-level networking, and cross-continental partnerships.
A Unified Coalition of Organizers and Co-Hosts
The summit is organized by International Energy Summits Ltd, alongside African Energy World, African Energy Vault Ltd, African Peace Magazine UK, and the African Energy Academy Ltd serving as principal strategic partners.
To anchor this edition in regional excellence, a powerful academic and advisory consortium has stepped in as official co-hosts. This landmark convention is executed in direct partnership with:
- Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST; ILLH), as co Host.
- Network of Excellence on Land Governance in Africa (NELGA)
- CRG Research & Consulting Ltd (CRG), based in Namibia and South Africa.
This academic-industry alliance ensures that the summit’s dialogues on infrastructure development, energy transitions, and land governance are backed by world-class local research and sustainable policy frameworks.
CORAN Steps in as Strategic Partner
Expanding the summit’s downstream and midstream capabilities, the Crude Oil Refinery-owners Association of Nigeria (CORAN) has officially joined IAEOGS 2026 as an Official Strategic Partner. As Africa shifts its focus toward domestic refining capacity, energy independence, and intra-continental trade under the AfCFTA, CORAN’s presence brings major private-sector refinery owners and modular operators to the table. This partnership directly connects West African processing expertise with Southern Africa’s massive upstream exploration boom.
Heavyweight Financial Backing: Gold Sponsors Announced
Solidifying the economic momentum of the event, two major industry giants have officially stepped forward as Gold Sponsors:
- Green Energy International Ltd
- Oriental Oil and Gas Services Ltd
Their corporate backing guarantees a high-yield environment for B2B deal-making, project financing discussions, and technological showcase exhibitions.
“If you are serious about securing deals, driving policy, and capturing real momentum in Africa’s multi-billion-dollar energy sector, IAEOGS 2026 is where it happens,” said Prudence Ramotso. “By combining the corporate strength of CORAN, Green Energy International, and Oriental Oil with the institutional prestige of NUST, NELGA, and CRG, we are bridging the gap between raw resources, academic intellect, and global capital.”

Fun South African Fact: Water is not all there is to drink in this thirsty country! South Africa’s Cape Winelands have around 560 wineries and 4 400 primary producers. Included in the Cape Winelands region is Route 62, considered the longest wine route in the world. That alone is good reason to visit South Africa if you haven’t yet been!
