About IAETIF
A commercial platform for Africa’s connected energy future.
An initiative of the Africa Energy Technology Centre, IAETIF exists to accelerate the trade, investment, technology and strategic relationships that can strengthen energy security and unlock productive growth across the continent.
Our purpose
Turn Africa’s energy potential into partnerships, projects and trade.
As Africa advances toward deeper economic integration, the opportunity is not simply to produce more energy. It is to connect energy systems to the capital, technology, businesses and regional markets that convert capacity into industrial growth.
As an initiative of the Africa Energy Technology Centre, IAETIF provides a structured environment for those connections. It brings together public institutions, commercial operators, financiers, project sponsors and solution providers around specific market opportunities—and builds a pathway from first engagement to practical next steps.
