Opportunities for the Hydrogen and Energy Sector

Hydrogen Scotland members are invited to take part in Scotland London Africa Week, taking place from 25–27 November in London. Organised by the Scottish Africa Business Association (SABA), this business programme offers a unique opportunity to connect with African markets and decision-makers, while raising Scotland’s profile as a partner of choice in energy, infrastructure and innovation.

Africa is emerging as one of the most dynamic regions for renewable energy development. With abundant natural resources, growing demand for sustainable power and increasing investment in green hydrogen and low-carbon technologies, the continent presents clear opportunities for Scottish expertise. Throughout the programme, businesses will gain direct insight into these opportunities and build valuable relationships with governments, investors and companies active in the sector.

Highlights of the week include:

• Country briefings from Egypt, Nigeria, Tanzania and other Commonwealth nations, with a focus on energy transition, infrastructure and investment priorities
• Meetings with the UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) Africa team, offering practical guidance on market entry and support available for Scottish companies
• Networking sessions with African and UK businesses seeking collaboration across renewable energy, hydrogen, maritime and related fields
• An evening reception hosted by the Secretary of State for Scotland, The Rt Hon Ian Murray MP, bringing together political leaders, investors and industry representatives in an exclusive setting

For hydrogen and wider clean energy businesses, the week provides a platform to showcase Scottish innovation and explore collaboration in areas such as hydrogen production, storage and export, as well as skills development and knowledge transfer. The discussions will highlight how Scotland’s expertise can contribute to Africa’s energy ambitions, while also opening doors for investment and partnerships that support Scotland’s own hydrogen economy.

Whether you are already active in African markets or considering your first steps, Scotland London Africa Week offers practical insights, access to high-level contacts and the chance to position your business at the heart of the UK-Africa trade and investment dialogue with the SABA team on hand to support you.

Hydrogen Scotland members can access the discounted SABA rate at The Westminster Hilton. Please get in touch with SABA for more information.
