Description

Africa’s energy transition calls for a balanced mix that combines security of supply, competitiveness, and long‑term decarbonization. A growing number of African states are integrating civil nuclear power into their energy strategies, alongside renewable energy and hydropower, opening up new prospects for international cooperation. This session explores the practical, political, financial, industrial, and human conditions required to deliver a civil nuclear program over several decades. African public decision‑makers, international industrial players, and pan‑African financiers bring together their perspectives on possible pathways and cooperation models that work. A long‑term topic, addressed head‑on by those who are driving it forward.
