The annual Africa Energy Indaba is pleased to announce that CNN International has once again signed on as its official international broadcast media partner for 2013. The partnership offers Africa a global platform to highlight the continent’s energy agenda to international audiences.
Our partnership with CNN International is very strategic in nature. CNN International’s global footprint provides major exposure for the Africa Energy Indaba and our partners. We are delighted to partner with one of the largest and most credible media companies in the world.” Says Liz Hart, Africa Energy Indaba, Managing Director.
Africa is a continent of contrasts. It is the fastest urbanising continent in the world, and must provide energy to meet the annual urban growth rate, which is twice as high as Asia and Latin America, while, as home to the poorest of the poor, it must innovate energy solutions for 50% of the worlds impoverished. The 5th annual Africa Energy Indaba will be the forum and business networking opportunity for decision-makers and leading role-players planning and developing Africa's energy future and seeking solutions to the challenges facing the continent’s energy needs.
The partnership with CNN International affords the Africa Energy Indaba, the opportunity to reach global audiences and new markets, thus assisting the Indaba with achieving its ultimate objective of being the foremost African energy event for energy professionals from across the globe in an endeavor to find efficient, tangible and creative energy solutions for the continent.
“Energy is a sector of ever increasing importance to us and to our audiences internationally and we’re pleased to support an event that plays a key role in bringing together the world’s top thinkers to dissect and tackle energy issues that face today’s world”, said Reme Al-Saiegh, VP Ad Sales, CNN International.

About the Energy Indaba:
The Africa Energy Indaba 2013 will be held from the 19th - 21st February 2013, at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa. The conference continues to grow and has become the foremost forum for debating and exchanging solutions to Africa's energy challenges and focuses on: African power suppliers; alternative and renewable energies; oil and gas; the legal and regulatory framework, and investment opportunities in African energy projects, to name a few. The exhibition has become a significant market-place for African and international stakeholders doing business in Africa's energy sector. Presented by the South African National Energy Association (SANEA) in association with the World Energy Council, and supported by the African Union and the NEPAD Planning & Coordinating Agency, the forum has achieved the highest level of endorsement and support and as such is without doubt the leading energy event in Africa. www.energyindaba.co.za
