A key objective of the Global African Hydrogen Summit is to build capacity, develop skills, and foster connections for global impact. One of our core objectives is to enhance skills and foster connections in the hydrogen and renewable energy sectors, and we're achieving this through two workshops held on Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024, prior to the main Summit.

These pre-Summit Masterclasses are more than just sessions; they are transformative learning and development experiences. Fully CPD accredited, these workshops focus on crucial aspects such as Hydrogen, Ammonia, Industrialisation Developments, and Local Content in Hydrogen and Renewable Projects.

Attendees can expect more than theoretical knowledge – we are providing practical skills that can be immediately applied to your day job. As you immerse yourself in these workshops, you're not just acquiring skills; you're shaping the future of your organisation. These sessions will help you refine your business strategy and position your organization at the forefront of industry advancements.

But it's not just about learning; it's about connecting. Our workshops offer a unique opportunity to start networking early with like-minded professionals from around the world. Be part of a community committed to driving positive change in the hydrogen and renewable energy sectors.
