Energy leaders, policymakers, and innovators have convened at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dar es Salaam for the inaugural Africa Technology Conference (ATC) 2025, hosted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
This landmark 3-day event marks a historic first: the largest technology-driven gathering of its kind by SPE on African soil, drawing over 500 delegates from across Africa, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
Under the theme “Navigating the Future: Building Technological Excellence for Sustainable Energy in Africa,” the conference aims to catalyze solutions and partnerships critical to Africa’s energy transformation. It serves as a continental platform to showcase innovation in oil, gas, and emerging renewable energy fields, with sessions focusing on artificial intelligence, geothermal potential, data science, local content, and diversity in the energy workforce.
In his address, the SPE Africa Regional Director Dr. Riverson Oppong reflected on his vision since assuming leadership eight months ago, one rooted in unity, collaboration, and bridging the gaps between professionals, governments, academia, and industry across Africa.
He emphasized that ATC 2025 is the manifestation of this vision: a strategic platform where policy meets innovation and where Africa boldly asserts its voice on the global energy stage.
The ATC 2025 also highlights young professionals engagement and future leadership, celebrating remarkable efforts through the SPE Africa Regional Awards and awarding five outstanding students scholarships under the Dr. Victor Ekpenyong Africa Scholarship Scheme.
By bringing together diverse stakeholders to address shared challenges and unlock opportunities, the conference embodies SPE’s global mission to advance technical and professional competence in energy development. True to SPE’s annual theme, “Solutions. People. Energy,” the event has successfully delivered actionable solutions to empower people and strengthen Africa’s energy future.
