ARE Energy Access Investment Forum 2027

The story of EAIF

EAIF began in 2014 as a modest workshop in Brussels, Belgium with 90 distributed renewable energy practitioners. Today it is the world's leading annual investment forum with more than 800 on-site participants, dedicated to energy access through renewable electricity, attracting government ministries, development finance institutions and private sector companies from across the globe.

Each edition has been deliberately built upon the last: expanding geographically across African host markets, deepening programme quality, and broadening its stakeholder ecosystem.

For more than 10 years, EAIF has brought together ministers, industry leaders and financiers, creating a unique platform to forge partnerships, unlock deals and catalyse business. Download the EAIF 2026 Post-event Report to learn more.


Themes we cover at EAIF

Today, EAIF is focused on advancing renewable electrification across energy access, productive uses, commercial and industrial power, and grid improvement.

The Forum brings together multi track sessions, Commercial & Industrial Day, matchmaking, exhibitions, networking receptions, partner workshops and site visits.


More than an event

EAIF has grown beyond a traditional conference into a platform for partners to convene their own workshops and side sessions alongside the main programme.

By leveraging EAIF’s convening power and established network, partners can focus on delivering high quality content while we support participant mobilisation and event logistics. With the right stakeholders already in the room, partners can drive meaningful discussions, expand their reach and bring new perspectives to EAIF’s programme.
