Where U.S. Capital Meets Africa’s Energy Future

The U.S.-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF) is a premier investment platform connecting U.S. capital with Africa’s most promising energy opportunities — from oil and gas to renewables, hydrogen, and critical minerals.

Taking place from 6–7 August 2025 in Houston, Texas, the forum empowers participants to identify and access emerging energy opportunities across the continent — positioning licensing rounds, national reforms, and infrastructure projects as prime entry points for U.S. capital. By convening investors, governments, and developers, USAEF facilitates dealmaking, strengthens partnerships, and drives cross-border collaboration across the energy value chain.
