Introducing The Strategic Conference Executive Committee (ExCo)
For 2025 the Global African Hydrogen Summit is deeply honoured to introduce the Strategic Conference Executive Committee (ExCo).
The ExCo will serve as a powerful catalyst to unite the brightest minds, most influential entrepreneurs, and the boldest innovators, fostering a shared vision to position Africa as a transformative frontier market for hydrogen energy.
By curating a diverse and dynamic lineup of experts, the ExCo can facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations that bridge technology, policy, and market access. Drawing on Africa's vast renewable energy potential, particularly solar and wind, the Strategic Conference programme can inspire radical innovations tailored to the continent's unique challenges and opportunities.
