President Mahama to attend Africa Energy Technology Conference 2026 in Accra
President John Dramani Mahama will officially open the Africa Energy Technology Conference (AETC) 2026 on May 19 at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra. The conference is organised by AETC in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition. The conference runs from May 19-21 under the theme “From Borders to Bridges: Driving Intra-African Trade and Development through Energy & Technology Services”.
President Mahama will be joined by Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, President of Mozambique Daniel Francisco Chapo, President of Namibia Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Prime Minister of Grenada Dickon Amiss Thomas Mitchell, and President of Angola João Lourenço. Other high-profile officials joining include Wamkele Mene, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Aliko Dangote, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, and Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi. The conference is expected to draw over 1,500 delegates from more than 30 countries, including 55 African ministers and 100 VIP speakers.
President Mahama's address will set the direction for three days of high-level deliberations. At the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year, President Mahama said, “We must knit together the patchwork of success stories. To move from resetting one country to resetting the entire development model”. During the AETC delegation's visit to the Vice President, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang stressed the necessity of addressing structural vulnerabilities that stifle potential, noting that participation of women and young people must be intentionally "baked into" the design of energy initiatives.
