The energy seminar will provide a platform to exchange knowledge on energy matters between the two countries. Ultimately, the seminar will aim at identifying solutions to the challenges facing South Africa’s and the region’s energy sector. This will be done in parallel with creating the ideal networking climate amongst the participants to unlock the potential for new energy solutions in Africa. The event will bring together, among others, high-level decision makers from the South African government, private sector and energy companies. The energy task team may report on concrete proposals that could be implemented by the two countries on November 11, but the date has not  yet been agreed upon.

This event is an opportunity for Swedish companies to showcase their products, services and solutions in the energy sector to the South African market and to expand their knowledge on the South African Energy sector and their priorities in the area.
 
In order to facilitate regional cooperation in the Energy sector in Southern Africa, Sweden’s Ambassadors based in the region will attend part of the seminar and will organize a special event on Friday November 12th with such a focus.
