ZANZIBAR: TANZANIA is set to host energy stakeholders from across Africa and beyond during the second edition of the New African Dimension of Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition 2026 (NADOGCE26), scheduled to take place in Zanzibar from July 25 to 27, 2026. Held under the theme “Bridging the Oil, Gas and Clean Energy Sectors for Africa’s Future,” the three-day conference will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, investors, development partners, engineers and young professionals to discuss the future of Africa’s energy sector. The event is being organized by the “Young Africans Petroleum Association (YAPA)” in partnership with government ministries, energy institutions and industry stakeholders. According to the organizers, the conference aims to provide a continental platform for dialogue, investment promotion and collaboration across Africa’s oil, gas and clean energy sectors, at a time when many countries are seeking to balance energy security, economic growth and climate commitments. The conference agenda will focus on strengthening cooperation between the hydrocarbon industry and emerging clean energy technologies, while exploring practical pathways for Africa’s energy transition. Discussions are expected to cover investment opportunities in oil and natural gas projects, renewable energy integration, carbon reduction strategies, sustainable energy development and policy frameworks that support long-term sector growth. Organizers say the event will also provide a platform for governments and private sector players to showcase projects, exchange technological innovations and explore cross-border partnerships aimed at expanding access to reliable and affordable energy. A key feature of the conference will be the engagement of young professionals and engineers, who will participate in discussions on industry trends, innovation and policy development.
