The African Local Content in Oil and Gas summit is your regional platform to benchmark local content initiatives across the continent. And to develop a sustainable framework and policy that not only ensures local capacity and self sufficiency for local companies but also helps meet your corporate objectives.

African Local Content in Oil and Gas looks at the key building blocks to making local content sustainable within your region and country. By examining the financial, training, contractual and model mechanisms you will have the opportunity to open up communication with regional counterparts and make significant headway in your development strategy.


Key Benefits include:
• A unique forum where you can debate and discuss the key building blocks to ensure local capacity and self sufficiency locally
• Regional breakouts so that you can exchange important dialogue on your regional and country specific local content initiatives
• Get face to face time with key policy makers and government representation all of whom develop the policy and whom are critical partners for your project
• Hear practical case examples from successful models across the continent, movements forward and the earlier key initiatives emerging
• interact with major project player and multilateral organisation to create long term business relationships and collective solutions


Whether your company is making considerable headway towards local content or are just starting to put together the crucial structures – this event is for you.
