The Invest in African Energy Forum – taking place in Paris from 11–13 May 2027 – expands its role as a leading platform for energy investment, convening governments, operators and institutional capital to originate, structure and finance projects across Africa

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July 7, 2026/APO Group/ –The Invest in African Energy (IAE) 2027 Forum will return to Paris for its fifth edition, strengthening its focus on investment, capital mobilization and deal-making across the full energy value chain. Confirmed for 11–13 May, IAE 2027 will bring together governments, national oil companies, operators and institutional capital to originate, structure and finance energy projects across Africa.

 

Building on the momentum of the 2026 edition, which attracted over 300 companies from more than 50 countries and facilitated three major upstream deal signings across frontier African markets, IAE 2027 further expands its investment offering against a backdrop of rising upstream discoveries, infrastructure needs and power demand alongside fragmented capital flows. The forum is designed to bridge that gap by convening ministries, development finance institutions, export credit agencies, sovereign wealth funds, infrastructure investors, private equity and commercial lenders in curated deal environments focused on execution.

The 2027 edition will be anchored by a dedicated G2B Investment Origination Day, where governments and national oil companies present structured opportunities including licensing rounds, upstream farm-ins and national energy pipelines. The Transaction Suite will serve as a curated deal room where sovereigns and operators present assets directly to qualified investors, while Investor Circles will bring together development finance institutions, sovereign wealth funds and commercial banks to focus on capital structuring, blended finance and risk mitigation tools required to unlock investment at scale.

Now returning for its fifth edition, IAE 2027 reflects the forum’s continued evolution as a leading investment platform

A flagship Ministerial Capital Roundtable will convene African energy ministers and regional organizations to address fiscal frameworks, regulatory stability and investment conditions required to mobilize capital at scale. Alongside this, a CapEx Pipeline Forum, supported by development finance institutions and export credit agencies, will focus on financing LNG developments, pipelines, power systems and cross-border energy corridors.

“Now returning for its fifth edition, IAE 2027 reflects the forum’s continued evolution as a leading investment platform. Building on the strong foundation established over the past four editions, this year’s program expands the opportunities for governments, operators and investors to engage in structured environments where projects advance, partnerships are formed and financing decisions move forward. Our objective remains the same: to turn opportunity into financed and deliverable energy assets,” said Nadine Levin, Portfolio Director at Energy Capital & Power.

The program will maintain a strong upstream foundation through an Exploration & Discovery Investment Forum focused on de-risking frontier development using advanced technologies including AI-enabled subsurface imaging and data-driven exploration, alongside the growing role of national oil companies and domestic operators in upstream investment, gas monetization and domestic energy expansion.

Beyond upstream, the Grid Convergence Forum will address gas-to-power integration, hybrid industrial energy systems and regional electricity markets. On the final day, the Commodities & Capital Allocation Forum will convene global trading houses, insurers and financial institutions to examine how commodity flows, risk pricing and insurance mechanisms shape capital deployment into African energy projects, alongside sessions on export credit agency support and mega-project finance for FLNG, offshore developments and cross-border pipelines.

By integrating sovereign deal origination, structured investor engagement and capital allocation frameworks into a single platform, IAE 2027 further strengthens its role as a three-day investment environment where projects are advanced, partnerships are structured and capital commitments are actively pursued. It positions Paris as a central hub for African energy investment at a time when the sector’s defining challenge is converting opportunity into bankable projects and financed execution.

Shanghai – New York: to Become a Benchmark for China-U.S. Subnational Cooperation

New York

SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 July 2026 – On June 30, 2026, New York time, the launch ceremony and New York Forum for OUR WATER Season 3 were successfully held at Bloomberg Headquarters in New York. This event, themed “Rivers of Opportunities”, focused on the shared certainties of Shanghai and NYC, anchoring growth through open cooperation and reshaping the future through innovation and resilience.

Co-hosted by Bloomberg L.P., the Forum was attended by Michael R. Bloomberg, Founder of Bloomberg L.P. and Bloomberg Philanthropies; Tang Zhiwen, Minister, Embassy of the People’s Republic in the United States of America; Ma Xiaoxiao, Deputy Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in New York; Chen Yiqun, Director-General of Information Office of Shanghai Municipality, and Hu Minghua, President of Shanghai United Media Group and over 200 guests from the political, business, finance and cultural sectors of China and the United States. The forum is dedicated to exploring the openness and similarities between Shanghai and New York to identify a shared framework of certainties among global hub cities.

The two cities share distinct advantages in sectors such as finance and trade, while also facing common challenges in urban renewal, low-carbon development, and digital transformation. Candid and open dialogue is essential for mutual learning, and it will also inject stability into China-U.S. relations.

On the topic of how global capital understands the Chinese market, a panel titled “Investing in China, Winning the Future” featured Chinese and international guests discussing how the appeal of Chinese assets is shifting from traditional growth narratives to AI, high-end manufacturing, financial opening-up, and institutional market development. As a hub for financial opening-up, an asset allocation center, and a cluster for innovative enterprises, Shanghai has become a crucial gateway linking international capital with opportunities in China.

Consumption is one of the most dynamic topics between China and the U.S. At the second panel of “Opportunies in emerging Consumer Markets”, moderated by Bloomberg Television host David Westin, panelists observed that the consumer vitality of Shanghai and New York stems not only from market size but also from their ongoing ability to create experiences, understand people, and activate urban spaces.

Besides the forum, the New York series of events for OUR WATER Season 3 also includes: West Meets East·Shanghai & New York 2026 – A Polaroid 20×24 Special Exhibition; Chinese Opera: A Century of Dreams – An Exhibition of Art Design and Technology; An Exhibition themed Shanghai’s “One River, One Creek” and Jing’an CAZ China-U.S. Business Leaders Dialogue in New York.

These events shape a tangible and immersive waterfront narrative, allowing Shanghai and New York—two super metropolises that have thrived on water—to resonate in harmony through dialogue. As Minister Tang Zhiwen stated in his address, Shanghai and New York, are expected to become benchmarks for subnational cooperation between China and the United States, and to make new contributions to fostering a “constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability.”

Ghana, Seychelles and São Tomé to Spotlight Energy Investment Pipelines at Power Africa Today 2026

African Energy Chamber

Energy ministers from Ghana, Seychelles and São Tomé and Príncipe will outline national power sector investment pipelines spanning generation, grids, renewables and supporting infrastructure at Power Africa Today during AEW 2026

CAPE TOWN , South Africa, July 6, 2026/APO Group/ –Ghana, Seychelles and São Tomé and Príncipe are advancing distinct but converging energy transition pathways, as governments shift from policy design to execution-ready infrastructure and investable project pipelines. These national strategies will be presented at the Power Africa Today conference during African Energy Week (AEW) 2026 in Cape Town from October 12–16.

 

At the center of the dialogue, Ghana’s Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr. John Abdulai Jinapor; Seychelles’ Minister for Environment, Climate, Energy and Natural Resources, Marie-May Jeremie; and São Tomé and Príncipe’s Minister of Infrastructure and Natural Resources, Nelson Cardoso, will outline how their respective countries are mobilizing investment across hydrocarbons, renewables and infrastructure.

In Ghana, the delivery of Jubilee crude to the Sentuo Oil Refinery in Tema marks an early step toward strengthening domestic refining capacity and reducing import dependence, supporting broader energy security and industrial fuel supply. This downstream integration is being complemented by an upstream recovery program anchored by a $3.5 billion investment drive, including a $1.5 billion agreement with Eni and a $2 billion framework with Jubilee Partners aimed at stabilizing production and ensuring reliable hydrocarbon supply for both export revenues and domestic energy needs, including gas-to-power development.

Investors are responding in kind, backing clearly structured, bankable energy projects that are ready to deliver impact at scale

At the same time, Ghana is addressing structural grid challenges through a $182 million efficiency and transmission upgrade program led by the Electricity Company of Ghana, alongside tariff adjustments aimed at stabilizing the power sector. Together, these reforms reflect a broader strategy that integrates upstream recovery, downstream expansion and grid reform within a just transition framework focused on industrialisation and job creation.

Seychelles is advancing a small-island energy transition model anchored in its Renewable Energy Accelerated Program, targeting 15% renewable penetration by 2030 through grid modernization and de-risked investment structures. Complementary reforms within the Public Utilities Corporation, including upgrades to the Roche Caiman generation facility, support broader efforts to strengthen energy resilience and diversify the island economy through blue economy initiatives.

In São Tomé and Príncipe, macroeconomic stabilization under an IMF Extended Credit Facility is enabling a more structured infrastructure investment environment. This is being reinforced by a $24.5 million African Development Bank grant, part of a broader clean energy investment package aimed at accelerating the country’s transition from diesel-based generation toward renewable energy and improved grid reliability. Recent renewable integration efforts, including small-scale solar deployment and hybrid generation systems, are supporting grid stability as the country works to reduce reliance on imported fuels and strengthen system performance.

Alongside a €72 million AfDB-supported portfolio, planned hydroelectric concessions along the Adabe River and solar development at Água Casada are being structured to attract private capital through de-risked public-private partnership frameworks, supporting efforts to expand reliable electricity access and build a more resilient power system.

“Across Africa, governments are moving decisively from policy design to implementation, turning ambition into execution on the ground,” says NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber. “Investors are responding in kind, backing clearly structured, bankable energy projects that are ready to deliver impact at scale. The Power Africa Today conference at AEW 2026 reflects this shift, bringing together governments and investors focused on moving projects from concept to execution.”

As African energy markets continue shifting from policy ambition toward execution-driven, investable project pipelines, Power Africa Today at  AEW 2026 will provide a platform for governments and investors to engage directly on strategies that can accelerate project delivery and unlock new capital flows across the continent.
