Africa Investment Exchange (AIX)

AIX: Nairobi

Join us in Kenya on 19-20 March for perspectives on power sector developments in the East African Power Pool (Eapp) region. The 2025 agenda examines ‘Constructive, Productive and Disruptive energy’ for Africa.

AIX Power & Renewables 2024

First held in 2014, AIX Power & Renewables has become one of the meetings of choice for Africa’s power sector stakeholders, including leading private and public sector investors, African officials and project developers.

The meeting place for Africa’s energy sector stakeholders

The Africa Investment Exchange (AIX) was set up in 2014, pairing African Energy's extensive regional expertise and source network with a seasoned events team experienced in producing high-level investment forums and dialogues across the African continent.

All our meetings are developed with the input of African Energy's senior consultants and analysts, who work closely with the project development community on issues that affect public and private sector investment decisions.

Addressing the issues that matter

AIX is focused on producing meetings that establish an enduring dialogue for energy industry professionals, with a now proven track record of stimulating business engagement and long-term partnerships.

🔸 The established AIX format has been running since 2014, since when it has carved out a unique niche in the market for its robust debate and knowledge-led approach.

🔸 Panel sessions and roundtable discussions are held under the Chatham House Rule to encourage open and meaningful discussion, address key market opportunities and examine how to break down barriers to investment.

Engage with senior stakeholders

Attracting industry professionals from a range of disciplines and business interests, AIX provides an opportunity to engage with experts developing sustainable projects, to gain insights into investor confidence, and to assess and understand developing trends in challenging and dynamic markets.

🔸 Meet Africa-focused firms and project developers to gain first-hand insights.
🔸 Explore innovative financial structures and emerging business models.
🔸 Unlock new capital including climate finance into the power sector.
🔸 Measure the wider impact of investments on social and economic development.
🔸 Analyse relevant data, case studies, and success stories in key markets.

Much more than an events company

AIX is organised by African Energy, a specialist publisher and consultancy that has been involved at the heart of the debate surrounding energy sector developments across the continent since 1998.

Delegates to our in-person meetings benefit from access to a range of additional content including:

🔸 Curated African Energy articles on key topics of focus

🔸 The latest insights from African Energy Live Data on the power industry’s performance and the future direction of the sector.

🔸 Monthly online meetings led by our experienced journalists and analysts.
