Zimbabwe-Zambia Energy Projects Summit

The 2025 edition of the Zim Zam Energy Projects Summit proved to be an exceptional platform for high-level networking and strategic dialogue. The calibre of attendees, including decision-makers and industry leaders from both Zimbabwe and Zambia, ensured that conversations were purposeful and forward-looking. The summit effectively showcased the tangible progress and shared commitment of our two nations toward sustainable energy development. The successes in Zambia are a model for the whole continent on how to solve tough problems. We were inspired. The beautiful venue and world-class hospitality from our Zambian hosts created the perfect environment for collaboration and new partnerships to flourish.

Considering the energy challenges that Zambia and Zimbabwe encountered in the recent years, it was opportunity for me to appreciate the magnitude of problems and determine how my organization can support the two countries. This event provided a platform to understand the depth of problems and establish possible solutions through formal and informal interactions.

This is a conference that quietly allows you to do business effectively with the right people in the right environment. Some conferences try to boost their own profile by wasting people’s valuable time with VIP set-pieces or generating superficial announcements – this isn’t one of them. The personal presence and contacts of the organising team also help make it effective.

Zimbabwe and Zambia are proving that collaboration, policy certainty, and private sector innovation can turn energy potential into power reality. By fast-tracking bankable projects and championing clean, inclusive growth, we are not just keeping the lights on — we are lighting the path to Africa’s energy independence.

Congratulations on a successful event. Was honoured to join other champions working to close the Energy Gap in Africa

On behalf of the panel, I would like to express our appreciation for being part of such a well-curated and impactful summit. We thoroughly enjoyed the discussions, the networking, and the opportunity to contribute to important conversations that are clearly gaining momentum in the region. The event was a real success from our perspective, and we hope it continues to grow from strength to strength. We would be delighted to stay engaged and to participate again in future editions. Thank you again for hosting us so graciously – we look forward to crossing paths at future EnergyNet events.

The ZimZam 2025 event in Livingstone last November was truly remarkable. It showcased excellent organisation, vibrant cultural exchanges, and created an impactful platform for collaboration between Zambia and Zimbabwe. The event was not only engaging but also left a lasting impression on attendees. Looking forward to more successful initiatives in the future!
