Since 2019, The Industry Discourse has convened students, young professionals, and energy leaders to shape the future of Africa's energy sector. From 500 attendees in Lagos to over 2,000 across Sub-Saharan Africa, TID is where the next generation meets the decision-makers who are already building it.
Our History
"Every child deserves access to STEAM education, especially in the age of AI. With this support, we can now bring STEAM education into thousands more schools, empowering teachers and unlocking creativity in students everywhere."
"Access to clean water shouldn't be a privilege. Our solution empowers rural communities to purify and store water affordably, reducing illness and freeing up time for education."
"We built a model that proves sustainability and profit are not opposites. Regenerative agriculture can feed communities and restore ecosystems simultaneously."

What We Stand For
Innovative financing models that can accelerate energy access and infrastructure development across the continent — beyond the traditional missing-middle problem.
Ensuring energy solutions reach underserved populations. Gender, youth, and marginalised communities at the center, not the margins.
Scalable, resilient, context-appropriate systems — built in Africa, for Africa, with the capacity to operate in its real-world conditions.
A glimpse into the moments, energy, and stories from our previous editions.
