Why Nigeria? Why Now?
Nigeria represents one of the world’s most dynamic and consequential energy markets. With a population exceeding 220 million and an economy poised for rapid expansion, the nation’s energy needs are immense and growing.

The expo’s agenda is deeply aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy) and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. By spotlighting renewable energy projects and sustainable practices, the event contributes directly to the region’s goal of achieving universal energy access while mitigating climate impact. The convergence of international best practices and local knowledge at the expo ensures that solutions are both innovative and contextually relevant, enhancing the credibility and long-term success of initiatives launched here.
