The upcoming Africa Energy Technology Conference 2025, taking place from May 27 to 29, 2025, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, Ghana, is set to be a key event for energy professionals, financiers, and policymakers across the continent. With its theme, “Innovate, Invest, Implement: Revolutionised Financing for Sustainable Energy Sector Growth in Africa,” the conference aims to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing Africa’s energy sector. One of the prominent speakers at the event is Dr. Simon Madjie, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC).

Dr. Madjie is a recognized leader in investment facilitation and promotion. With a strong background in international trade law and extensive experience in the investment sector, he has played a pivotal role in driving economic development in Ghana by promoting sustainable investments. Before his appointment as CEO of GIPC, Dr. Madjie served as the Executive Secretary of the American Chamber of Commerce in Ghana, where he helped strengthen trade relations between Ghana and the United States. This experience has equipped him with a deep understanding of the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI) in achieving sustainable economic growth.

In his role as CEO of GIPC, Dr. Madjie has focused on enhancing Ghana’s position as a leading investment destination, particularly in sectors critical to the country’s long-term development. His leadership is shaping GIPC’s strategy to attract investments that will promote green growth, including renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure projects. At the Africa Energy Technology Conference, Dr. Madjie will bring his wealth of experience to the table, speaking on innovative investment strategies that can unlock financing for Africa’s burgeoning energy sector.

The conference is an ideal platform for Dr. Madjie to discuss how Africa can overcome financing barriers to achieve sustainable energy growth. With energy demand across the continent rapidly increasing, innovative financing models are crucial to scaling renewable energy projects, addressing energy access challenges, and meeting environmental sustainability goals. Dr. Madjie’s expertise in investment promotion will offer valuable insights into how governments, private investors, and development partners can collaborate to create a conducive environment for financing energy projects.

Dr. Madjie’s role at GIPC has been instrumental in securing partnerships that align with national priorities such as reducing the country’s dependency on fossil fuels and accelerating the transition to renewable energy. He has led efforts to attract both local and international investors in clean energy solutions, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, while also fostering public-private partnerships to ensure that financing is both sustainable and scalable.

In line with the theme of the conference, Dr. Madjie’s focus on “Invest” will highlight the importance of securing investment for the energy sector, especially from non-traditional sources. At the same time, his leadership has emphasized the critical need for “Innovate” and “Implement”, making sure that the financing strategies discussed not only exist on paper but are executed effectively. His contributions will explore how innovative investment vehicles, such as green bonds, blended finance, and impact investment, can play a pivotal role in financing sustainable energy projects.

The Africa Energy Technology Conference 2025 is crucial because it serves as a crossroads where ideas, innovations, and financing solutions can converge to drive Africa’s energy transition. With leaders like Dr. Madjie lending their voices to the discussions, the event will provide a roadmap for how the continent can balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. His insights on fostering investment and creating an enabling environment for energy projects are timely, as Africa seeks to meet its energy goals while tackling the urgent challenge of climate change.

As Africa continues its journey towards a sustainable energy future, Dr. Madjie’s participation in this conference underscores the importance of investment in driving innovation and implementation. The insights he will share at the event will be invaluable to stakeholders seeking to navigate the complex landscape of financing energy projects and ensure that the transition to a green economy is not only possible but sustainable for future generations.

Dr. Madjie’s leadership at GIPC aligns perfectly with the goals of the Africa Energy Technology Conference, and his contributions will undoubtedly shape the continent’s approach to sustainable energy financing. His participation is a significant step in helping Africa build the necessary frameworks to attract investments that will fuel the growth of the sustainable energy sector across the region.
