Exciting, empowering and inspirational. These are just some of the words people have used to describe the Youth Energy Summit, which takes place alongside the Africa Energy Forum (aef) annually!
The Youth Energy Summit has been successfully launched in Brussels (2022), expanded in Nairobi (2023) and is will return in June in Cape Town. This summit has united hundreds of stakeholders in the energy industry with African students, young entrepreneurs and early career professionals.
The upcoming 2025 summit is anticipated to be the most extensive to date, with YES! aiming to contribute significantly to addressing socio-economic issues in Africa.
