Namibia will host the second Global African Hydrogen Summit (GAH2S) in September 2025, with over 1,500 delegates from nearly 70 countries expected to attend.

The three-day summit, organised by DMG Events, will bring together heads of state, ministers, investors, industry leaders, technologists and developers to support Africa’s green hydrogen agenda.

The summit will focus on the theme Ambition in Action: Fuelling Africa’s Green Industrial Revolution, placing hydrogen and its derivatives at the centre of Africa’s drive for industrial growth and a low-carbon transition.

DMG’s Senior Vice President of Energy, Damian Howard, said the event will feature a high-level ministerial meeting, leadership roundtables, presentations on 50 green projects, the signing of 20 memoranda of understanding, and participation from 60 countries.

“The theme will tangibly showcase and communicate the case for hydrogen, its derivatives and renewable energies as key solutions to a lower-carbon energy system and the foundation for a green industrial economy,” Howard said.

The summit will also include CPD-accredited masterclasses, investment roundtables, innovation exhibitions and policy discussions aimed at securing bankable energy investments.

The Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board (NIPDB) said the 2024 edition attracted 1,400 delegates from 65 countries, hosted 75 global exhibitors, and resulted in nine investment partnerships.

NIPDB Executive for Talent, Innovation and Productivity, Julia Muetudhana, said last year’s summit generated direct economic activity worth US$3.5 million for the country.

“Last year, we witnessed a turning point. The inaugural edition of GAH2S established Namibia not only as a global leader in green hydrogen but also as a credible platform for dialogue and investment in Africa’s green industrial revolution,” Muetudhana said.

Namibia currently ranks as the leading African country in readiness for just energy transition financing, according to the Climate Investment Funds (CIF). The NIPDB credits this to policy reforms and a coordinated approach across government.

Muetudhana said Namibia is positioning itself as an export hub and manufacturing base for hydrogen-based products such as ammonia, fertilisers and synthetic fuels.

The 2025 summit will increase participation by SMEs, promote youth involvement and strengthen regional partnerships to support a just transition.

“Our position on inclusion is clear. Namibia’s success must serve as a platform for broader African prosperity,” Muetudhana said.

Green Hydrogen Commissioner and Head of the Namibia Green Hydrogen Programme, James Mnyupe, said the 2025 summit is expected to build on last year’s momentum.

“These numbers are a testament to the growing interest in green hydrogen as both an energy carrier and a driver of industrialisation, and to Namibia’s role as a key player in this space,” Mnyupe said.
