Introducing The Executive Committee

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. By aligning global investment with local expertise in development, the ExCo can drive actionable strategies to create sustainable energy ecosystems, generate green jobs, and accelerate industrial growth, ensuring that Africa becomes a leading player in the global hydrogen economy.

Representation will span the full energy value chain and include Namibian, pan-African and global experts and leading influencers.

Through continued engagement, the ExCo seeks to advance the unprecedented commitments towards hydrogen deployment as well decarbonisation solutions set out by governments and industry alike and establish how the Global African Hydrogen Summit will platform credible solutions to redefine the energy trilemma and deliver the hydrogen and green energy systems of the future.
