From the newsletter

The ideas shared and collaborations formed during e-mobility events are instrumental to driving the industry forward. While foreign EV events focus on scalability and advanced technology, African e-mobility events emphasise practical, affordable, and sustainable solutions tailored to the continent's unique challenges.

  • Two significant events await e-mobility industry stakeholders as we approach the end of the year. Both starting tomorrow, the Lagos Transport Fest in Nigeria and the UITP & MENA Conference in Morocco will bring together African industry insiders to discuss and showcase the evolution of EVs across the continent.

  • We have expanded our list to 13 confirmed events scheduled to take place over the next twelve months. Links to these events are included to help you plan ahead. If you would like us to feature an event, simply reply to this email.

Our take

  • These events highlight Africa's untapped e-mobility potential, offering opportunities for investors to engage with transformative projects. Discussions at these gatherings help de-risk investments, from developing charging infrastructure to manufacturing affordable EVs. Additionally, they pave the way for regional alignment on policies, standards, and infrastructure development.

  • Major events like these are not held frequently, so tapping into their potential is crucial to bridging knowledge gaps in this rapidly evolving industry. The insights and relationships formed at these events are essential for building a cohesive and sustainable e-mobility future in Africa.

  • This year has witnessed several impactful e-mobility events, and we hope to see even more in the coming year.
