As Africa’s energy sector enters a new phase of development, market intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in informing decision-making by providing investment-focused insights into the trends shaping the continent’s energy and capital markets. Prospect, the market intelligence arm of Energy Capital&Power (ECP), is bringing these strategic insights to the African Energy Week (AEW) Conference and Exhibition, taking place October 12-16 in Cape Town. As an official Media Partner, Prospect will deliver coverage and market analysis, strengthening the conference’s ability to deliver timely market intelligence to a global audience.  

The partnership brings together Africa's leading energy investment event with one of the industry's fastest-growing intelligence platforms. Through dedicated news coverage, executive interviews, market analysis and on-the-ground reporting, Prospect will provide comprehensive coverage of the deals, policy announcements and commercial developments emerging from AEW 2026, while amplifying investment opportunities across Africa's energy sector. 

Prospect was established to make sense of fast-moving energy and mining market news and insights in a complex global landscape. Founded in Africa and now operating globally, Prospect connects the dots between capital, policy, and project development across key regions. The platform moves beyond headlines to deliver structured, decision-ready intelligence, bringing clarity to fragmented markets and highlighting the forces shaping investment outcomes.  

As an official Media Partner, Prospect will work alongside AEW to expand the reach of the conference's key announcements while providing readers with exclusive interviews, investment analysis and insights into the commercial opportunities driving Africa's evolving energy landscape. The collaboration reinforces a shared commitment to improving market transparency and connecting international investors with bankable projects across oil and gas, power, renewables and emerging energy industries. 

“Investment decisions are built on reliable information, credible analysis and direct engagement with industry leaders. Prospect has quickly established itself as a trusted source of market intelligence by focusing on the commercial drivers behind energy and mining investment. Its partnership with AEW will ensure the conversations taking place in Cape Town reach investors around the world while showcasing the scale of opportunities emerging across Africa's energy sector,” states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber. 

Taking place in Cape Town on October 12-16, AEW 2026 is not only the largest gathering of energy stakeholders on the continent, but the official meeting platform for Africa’s energy leaders. Across multiple program tracks, the conference provides strategic insight into the trends, opportunities and challenges reshaping Africa’s energy market today. Featuring African governments, international operators, financiers, technology providers and leading African companies, the event aims to chart the future of African energy development. 

With Prospect joining as a Media Partner, delegates and global stakeholders can expect expanded coverage of the event's strategic announcements, exclusive executive interviews and market intelligence designed to support investment decisions long after the conference concludes. By combining AEW's position as Africa's largest energy gathering with Prospect's data-driven reporting and analytical expertise, the partnership will strengthen the visibility of projects and policies that are shaping the future of African energy. ​
