“This conference was extremely important for the energy, mining and hydrocarbon sector as it managed to bring together raw material processors (in the mining sector), energy transformers (through transforming companies such as Globelec and others), service providers and oil companies.
The 2023 edition proved to be different and unique as the greater participation of countries from the Southern African region, such as Malawi, Zimbabwe, RSA and others, was notable. We also saw through the audience that the investing countries were on a smaller scale, which shows that the Austral region is concerned with finding suppliers and energy providers in the region without this creating disruption in the concept of the energy transition, that is, sustainable clean energy and payable at a cost that reaches all social strata, achieving what is called the Energy Trilema – energy equity, security and energy sustainability.”

“The MMEC 2023 was a well-organized and very high-level event, with several decision makers attending and available to network. The panel discussions and the seniority of the speakers allowed for valuable understanding and insights to the Energy and Mining sector, offering perspective for how these industries will shape the Country and the region in the next decade!”

“Talking about MMEC 2023 is talking about a great asset for the process of catalyzing the industry in Mozambique, this year we had the presence of great African leaders linked to the sector, so it was a magical moment where we could have the opportunity to hear the experiences of specialists in the sector, and to assess the stage of the energy transition process and the contribution of national and international partner companies in the development of the country.
