Namibia Energy Industry Immersion Mission

Exposure to Africa’s Emerging Oil & Gas Province

Duration: 5–6 Days
Location: Windhoek & Walvis Bay
Format: Executive industry immersion

Overview

Talco Advisory organizes a Namibia Energy Industry Immersion Mission designed for African suppliers, institutions, and industry professionals seeking early exposure to one of the continent’s most promising emerging oil and gas provinces.

Over the past few years, Namibia has attracted significant global attention following major offshore discoveries in the Orange Basin, positioning the country as a potential new energy hub in Southern Africa.

As the industry develops, Namibia offers a unique opportunity to observe how an energy ecosystem is built from the early stages, including regulatory preparation, industrial infrastructure development, and supplier positioning.

This immersion mission provides participants with practical exposure to the institutional, industrial, and strategic dimensions shaping Namibia’s emerging petroleum sector.

The programme combines ecosystem briefings, institutional meetings, infrastructure visits, and strategic discussions with actors involved in the country’s energy development.
