Trends in the Energy Technology and access to finance.

Our monthly webinars showcase domestic electricity markets from different countries.

We pair these presentations with content from Original Equipment Manufacturers who speak to trends in energy and power technology including channel partner opportunities available in their companies.

The highlight for this webinar was a presentation from the African Development Bank, that spoke to support for women entrepreneurs in energy and power in Africa.

Access to technology and finance will be key to unleashing the potential of female entrepreneurs on the continent.

"Robotics, digitisation and the Internet of Things (IoT) are transforming the operating environment for oil and gas companies. Companies are adopting digital technologies to develop resilience against the recession and adverse consequences in Africa. Nikhil Kaitwade is Associate Vice President (AVP)."

"I hope we can all agree that, instead of continuing to subsidize yesterday's energy sources. We need to invest in tomorrow's."

Barack Obama

“We thought that if you go green, you need to subsidise. But it’s the opposite. There are a lot of low-hanging fruits that we can capture in efficiency, demand side management and so on. A lot of job creation just by going down that road. We shouldn’t talk about phasing-out fossil fuels – it’s more of a competition. But we will tackle fossil subsidies.”

Suhail Al Mazroui, Minister of Energy of the United Arab Emirates
