Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow

Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow: Where Innovation Meets Industry in South Africa’s Energy Hub

The Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow is more than just a local exhibition—it is a focused, annual gathering of South Africa’s leading players in the petrochemical industry. Held in the industrial heartland of Secunda, the event provides a valuable platform for equipment manufacturers, service providers, engineers, and talent suppliers to converge, collaborate, and contribute to the growth of one of the country's most vital sectors.

This roadshow serves as a hands-on showcase of the latest technologies and services shaping the future of petrochemicals. But more than that, it fosters human connections, sparking new business relationships and reinvigorating existing ones.

A Homegrown Event With Global Relevance

Set in Secunda—home to some of the most advanced petrochemical infrastructure in the Southern Hemisphere—the event is uniquely positioned to attract both local and international interest. While the Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow caters to a regional audience, its content and outcomes resonate across global markets.

With ongoing energy transitions, ESG pressure, and rising demand for innovation, events like this play a crucial role in helping the sector navigate change and stay competitive.

Core Objectives of the Roadshow:

   Create a space for meaningful networking among professionals

   Facilitate knowledge exchange across the value chain

   Unveil and demonstrate new technologies and equipment

   Encourage collaboration on existing and upcoming projects

   Strengthen local capacity through access to expertise and innovation

Each year, these goals are realized through interactive exhibitions, informal discussions, and structured B2B engagement.

Who Attends the Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow?

The event draws a targeted audience from multiple segments of the petrochemical value chain. From operational specialists to procurement managers, it’s a gathering where industry knowledge meets business acumen.

Key Attendees Include:

   Equipment suppliers (e.g., pumps, valves, piping systems)

   Service providers (maintenance, automation, analytics)

   Engineering consultants and contractors

   Procurement teams from major operators

   Human capital and recruitment firms

   Technicians and field engineers

   Design and R&D specialists

The roadshow offers a balanced mix of technical engagement and commercial opportunity, making it ideal for both large firms and niche solution providers.

A Showcase of Innovation, Designed by Engineers

What sets this event apart is its technical authenticity. Many of the exhibits are presented directly by the engineers who designed or implemented the technologies. This gives attendees a rare opportunity to interact with creators rather than just marketers—opening the door for deep technical discussions, practical demonstrations, and collaborative ideation.

Examples of What You’ll See on Display:

   Live demos of high-pressure pump systems

   New sensor technologies for pipeline monitoring

   Digitized asset tracking platforms

   Fire-resistant materials and insulation solutions

   Modular systems for plant expansions

   Field-ready wearable tech for safety and inspection

These exhibits are not only impressive but actionable—allowing visitors to assess the practical value of each technology for their own operations.

Business Development Meets Technical Dialogue

The Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow is not your typical tradeshow. While there’s a strong business development element, much of the value lies in technical exchange. Engineers, designers, and project managers walk the show floor not just to sell or buy—but to problem-solve, brainstorm, and plan for the future.

Discussions Often Sparked at the Roadshow:

   Retrofitting legacy systems with modern technology

   Reducing downtime through predictive maintenance

   Energy efficiency and emissions reduction

   Modular vs. fixed plant designs

   Skills shortages and workforce training

   Cross-company project collaboration

These conversations are vital as the industry looks to increase efficiency, comply with environmental standards, and remain globally competitive.

Reconnecting With Old Friends—and Making New Ones

Beyond the professional value, the event is also a social reunion for many in the field. It’s a rare opportunity for longtime colleagues and project partners to catch up, share updates, and celebrate successes. In an industry where much of the work happens in isolated silos or remote sites, this kind of face-to-face connection can make a big difference.

The informal setting encourages open conversation and easy networking—whether over coffee at a booth, in a corridor between displays, or during one of the many organized meetups.

The Power of Local: Why Secunda?

There’s a reason this event takes place in Secunda each year. As the location of one of the largest synthetic fuel facilities in the world and a hub for petrochemical innovation, the town holds a special place in South Africa’s industrial story.

Hosting the roadshow here ensures maximum relevance and access for regional teams, many of whom are involved in daily operations and project execution. It’s cost-effective, logistically simple, and highly connected to the realities of plant-based engineering.

A Must-Attend Event for the Petrochemical Industry

Whether you’re an equipment manufacturer, a field engineer, or a business development manager, the Secunda Petrochemical & Energy Roadshow offers unique value. It blends technical depth with commercial opportunity, all in a format that’s easy to navigate and rich in insight.

In a world of oversized exhibitions and generic trade events, the roadshow stands out for its precision, authenticity, and focus. It speaks directly to the needs of the petrochemical industry, empowering attendees to forge new paths, uncover solutions, and stay ahead of the curve.

Don’t miss the next edition—because the future of South Africa’s petrochemical innovation starts here, in Secunda.

Africa Renewables Investment Summit

ARIS: Unlocking Africa’s Renewable Energy Potential Through Strategic Investment

As the global push for clean energy intensifies, Africa stands at the edge of a transformative moment. The Africa Renewables Investment Summit (ARIS), hosted at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in the heart of South Africa’s Mother City, emerges as a crucial gathering for leaders seeking to translate Africa’s immense renewable energy potential into real-world investments. Organized by Invest Renewables Africa, the summit is purpose-built to accelerate collaboration among investors, developers, policymakers, and utility leaders.

With a continent rich in solar, wind, hydro, and biomass resources, Africa’s challenge is no longer potential—it is implementation. ARIS provides a results-oriented platform aimed at closing the investment gap and fast-tracking clean energy deployment across the continent.

A Platform Where Opportunity Meets Action

What sets ARIS apart from other energy conferences is its laser focus on connecting bankable renewable energy projects with capital, partnerships, and political will. The summit acts not just as a talking shop, but as an actionable space for engagement between key stakeholders.

Attendees include:

Institutional and private investors seeking high-growth opportunities

Project developers with proven, scalable renewable solutions

Ministers, regulators, and policy architects involved in energy transition strategies

Renewable energy marketing and business development professionals

This gathering provides the optimal setting for deal-making, policy advancement, and strategic planning.

Key Features and Initiatives of the Africa Renewables Investment Summit

At its core, ARIS aims to convert ideas into investment-ready realities. To achieve this, the event is structured around a mix of presentations, forums, and curated matchmaking activities designed for high-value outcomes.

Attendees can expect the following strategic opportunities:

Africa Renewables Marketplace: A dynamic platform for showcasing investment-ready renewable projects from across the continent.

Targeted Matchmaking Sessions: One-on-one and group meetings organized around investment compatibility, sector focus, and market readiness.

Policy Dialogue Forums: Facilitated discussions between government representatives and private sector players to address regulatory and financing bottlenecks.

Thematic Roundtables: Deep dives into energy access, mini-grid development, battery storage, and public-private partnership models.

Investor Spotlights: Sessions where investors share criteria, trends, and strategic focus areas in Africa’s renewables sector.

These initiatives collectively offer unmatched opportunities for forging partnerships that lead to tangible clean energy outcomes.

Why Africa? Why Now?

Africa is home to some of the world’s most favorable conditions for renewable energy, yet remains underserved when it comes to infrastructure and financing. ARIS exists to bridge this gap by drawing the right people into the right conversations—with the tools and support needed to move forward.

Some compelling reasons why Africa is drawing the attention of renewable energy investors include:

Unmet Demand: Over 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa still lack access to reliable electricity.

Abundant Resources: Africa receives the highest levels of solar radiation globally and has significant wind and hydro potential.

Policy Momentum: Many African governments are rolling out pro-renewable policies and net-zero targets.

Youthful Workforce: A young, growing population ready to power and benefit from green energy economies.

Global Climate Focus: Africa's energy development is essential to achieving global climate and decarbonization goals.

ARIS is the answer to aligning capital with these pressing needs and abundant opportunities.

Building a Future-Proof Energy Ecosystem

A major focus at the Africa Renewables Investment Summit is creating energy systems that are not only clean and reliable but also inclusive and resilient. The discussions go beyond financing and grid capacity—they delve into the real-world impacts of energy projects on communities, economies, and the environment.

Among the key themes explored are:

The rise of decentralized energy solutions and their role in powering remote regions

Financing models that support small- and mid-scale developers

Digital technologies enabling grid optimization and predictive maintenance

Job creation and skills development in green energy sectors

The role of gender equity and youth inclusion in energy transitions

By addressing both macroeconomic and human-centered issues, ARIS contributes to building a sustainable future shaped by collaboration and shared prosperity.

Who Should Attend ARIS?

The summit is tailored for a broad but targeted audience within the renewable energy and infrastructure development ecosystem. Whether you’re a startup founder working on off-grid solar kits or a large-scale investor looking for portfolio diversification, ARIS offers meaningful value.

Ideal attendees include:

Renewable energy project developers and EPC firms

Energy marketers and business strategists

Impact investors and fund managers

Multilateral institutions and climate financiers

Government ministries and regulatory authorities

NGOs and civil society organizations focused on energy access

Each delegate leaves with insights, contacts, and opportunities that can directly influence the growth of renewable energy in Africa.

Turning Potential into Progress

The Africa Renewables Investment Summit is more than an event—it's a catalyst. By facilitating focused dialogue, concrete matchmaking, and strategic policy alignment, ARIS aims to transform Africa’s renewable energy landscape from a story of untapped potential into one of delivered impact.

As the continent enters a new era of development and innovation, ARIS stands as a bridge between vision and execution. For any stakeholder serious about playing a part in Africa’s energy future, this summit is the gateway.
