The African Natural Resource and Energy Investment Summit (AFNIS) has announced a significant new supporter of the platform, the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria (AHK Nigeria).
The organization said the strategic collaboration will leverage AHK Nigeria’s extensive network to promote AFNIS 2025, connecting German businesses with the multitude of investment and partnership opportunities available at the landmark summit, scheduled for July 15-17, 2025.
The partnership was formalized following productive discussions, with AHK Nigeria expressing its commitment to supporting the summit’s outreach.
As part of the collaboration, AHK Nigeria will disseminate information and promotional materials about AFNIS 2025 to its members and partners, encouraging their participation and engagement.
Germany is a global leader in technology, innovation, and sustainable practices, and this collaboration marks a vital step toward fostering stronger economic ties between German enterprises and the African continent.
Germany is increasingly seeking strategic partnerships across Africa in sectors such as mining for critical minerals, oil and gas, and renewable energy, recognizing the continent’s pivotal role in the global energy transition and supply chain resilience.
Thus, AFNIS provides Germany with an exceptional platform for making these vital connections.
Additionally, to build on the momentum of this engagement, a strategic post-AFNIS roadshow is being planned in Germany to further translate these opportunities into tangible partnerships and investment outcomes.
This partnership aligns perfectly with AFNIS’s core objectives to promote intra-African and international trade, drive sustainable investment, and foster knowledge exchange within the power, oil and gas, mining, and renewable energy sectors, a statement from the AFNIS 2025 organisers said. “By connecting German industry leaders and investors with African projects and innovators, AFNIS 2025 aims to catalyse growth and sustainable development across the continent.
The Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria (AHK Nigeria), is a vital part of the global German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) network. Closely linked with the Chambers of Industry and Commerce (IHKs) in Germany, AHKs support German companies in establishing and expanding their business relations with foreign countries. AHKs are key players in German foreign trade promotion on behalf of the Federal Republic of Germany, representing German business interests and promoting Germany as a business location.
The African Natural Resource and Energy Investment Summit (AFNIS) is a high-level, multi-stakeholder platform designed to advance sustainable development, investment, and cooperation in Africa’s natural resource and energy sectors. It brings together policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and experts to foster dialogue, share knowledge, and drive transformative initiatives across the continent. AFNIS is committed to shaping Africa’s strategic direction in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
