Background

Recognizing energy’s crucial role in catalysing Namibia’s socio-economic development and the need for collaboration to unlock this value, RichAfrica founded the Namibia International Energy Conference (NIEC) in 2012.

Previously known as the Namibia International Oil and Gas Conference, this influential thought-leadership platform has become a reputable forum where industry leaders, business executives and policymakers engage in dialogue, exchange ideas, create new partnerships and identify solutions and strategies to foster a prosperous energy industry in Namibia and beyond.

Our Partners

The Ministry of Mines and Energy is the patron of the NIEC and has officially endorsed the conference since its inception. As the custodian of Namibia’s diverse geological, mineral, and energy resources, the Ministry is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that resources positively impact Namibia’s socio-economic development. The Ministry’s mandate and dedication align with the NIEC’s commitment to the sustainable development of Namibia’s energy resources.
