ACCRA, GHANA – The Africa Energy Technology Centre (AETC) is proud to announce that Hon. John Abdulai Jinapor, Minister of Energy and Green Transition for the Republic of Ghana, will deliver a keynote address at the Africa Energy Technology Conference (AETC) 2026.
This landmark announcement follows the recent confirmation of H.E. President John Dramani Mahama, who will officially open the conference. Together, their participation underscores Ghana’s unwavering dedication to driving Africa’s energy transformation agenda at the highest levels of governance.
A Cornerstone Partnership
The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has served as the official governmental partner to AETC since its inception. This enduring alliance has been instrumental in transitioning the conference from a platform of discussion to a catalyst for policy-driven action.
The Ministry’s role as a founding partner is particularly valuable and timely as the continent navigates a dual mandate: achieving a sustainable green transition while ensuring robust energy security for industrial growth. As the steward of Ghana’s energy portfolio, Hon. Jinapor brings critical policy insight and a strategic vision that aligns perfectly with AETC’s mission to move Africa from a consumer to a creator of energy technology.
Bridging Policy and Innovation
The theme for AETC 2026, “From Borders to Bridges: Driving Intra-African Trade and Development through Energy & Technology,” sets the stage for Hon. Jinapor’s address. His leadership is vital in spearheading conversations that prioritize:
- Technological Sovereignty: Ensuring African-led innovation sits at the heart of the global energy shift.
- Strategic Investment: Leveraging institutional partnerships to create a stable environment for high-stakes energy deals.
- Inclusive Growth: Empowering the next generation of energy leaders and women through targeted entrepreneurship and incubation programs.
A Gathering of Global Influence
Scheduled for May 19–21, 2026, in Accra, the third edition of AETC continues to solidify its reputation as the premier convening point for Africa’s most influential voices in energy, trade, and diplomacy.
With the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition providing the institutional weight and President Mahama setting the executive tone, AETC 2026 is poised to be the most consequential energy event on the continental calendar.
