Strategic focus and regional dialogue

Under the theme “Strategic Opportunities in Angola’s Energy Sector: Unlocking New Frontiers, Driving Growth,” the summit will celebrate Angola’s 50 year of independence and unpack the next chapter of its energy journey. The agenda will feature C-level discussions on policy reforms, upcoming licensing rounds, new frontier basins and the country’s vision for domestic gas monetisation. A special spotlight will be placed on Namibia, with discussions around joint ventures, technology transfer and regional energy corridors, reinforcing the summit’s cross-border perspective.

Confirmed speakers include Paulino Jerónimo, president of the ANPG, former Minister of Mines and Energy of Namibia Tom Alweendo and representatives from NAMCOR. Mauro Graça of Sonangol Distribuição e Comercialização will speak about the Barra do Dande Oceanic Terminal – the project revolutionising Angola’s fuel storage capacity – while Katrina Fisher of ExxonMobil and Frank Cassulo of Chevron will discuss the role of IOCs in Angola’s new energy frontiers.

Sessions will take the form of leadership roundtables, fireside chats and strategic panel discussions, with the participation of market leaders in oilfield services, logistics and technology development. The sessions will culminate in The Energy Year Awards Ceremony and a high-level networking gala to close the night.

A pivotal moment

As Angola celebrates 50 years of independence, the Energy Leaders’ Summit will shed light on how the energy sector continues to drive the country’s economic transformation. Despite challenges, from early offshore discoveries to major infrastructure projects, Angola has consolidated its position as one of Africa’s most resilient energy markets. Recent developments signal a new chapter shaped by strategic investments in mature fields, the momentum of local operators’ expansion and IOC initiatives that are driving the decarbonisation of upstream operations.

Our key objective is to ensure that Angola continues to remain competitive and is able to attract new investment. For this to happen, it is essential that we keep the lines of communication open, engage with industry players and provide clarity on what we expect from them and what they can expect from us.”
