SUPPORTING MOZAMBIQUE'S EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Mozambique Gas & Energy Summit is proudly supporting the educational sector of Mozambique by inviting lead universities with engineering programmes to participate and share opinions with Government and operators.

The need for Mozambican professionals in areas of engineering, geology, oil & gas exploration and gas development knowledge is key to the sustainable development of Mozambique’s economy, and therefore more universities are being urged to open related academic programs.

This year to innovate, we will transform the programme of essays into Posters to make it easier and freshen up a bit.

The Mozambique Gas & Energy Summit has been a strong opportunities advocate for students, young professionals and entrepreneurs who are all Mozambique’s future. This format, inspired by the globally renowned TED Talks, will be returning to the Summit. We will hear success stories from across Africa, learning their stories, being inspired by their experiences on how they seized opportunities, overcame significant challenges and attained success to the highest standard in the energy sector.
