CABEF BEYOND BORDERS – HOUSTON 2025: A Memorable Edition!

On May 8, 2025, Houston successfully hosted the very first CABEF BEYOND BORDERS, marking a new era for energy cooperation between Africa and the rest of the world.

Ministers, business leaders, investors, experts, and members of the diaspora gathered for an exceptional day of strategic dialogue, high-level panels, and meaningful networking.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, speakers, sponsors, and partners for making this event a true success.

Together, we laid the foundation for a sustainable and collaborative energy future for Africa — beyond borders
