The SADC Sustainable Energy Week (SEW) aims to promote opportunities in the sustainable energy sectors, as well as related programmes across the entire energy value chain in the SADC Member States. The focus will be on the policy and enabling environment, financing, grid integration, energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies and clean cooking, energy storage and many others for a sector in transition.
The official opening event will be officiated by the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe, His Excellency Dr. Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, the SADC Executive Secretary, H.E Mr. Elias M. Magosi, and graced by SADC Energy Ministers as well as high-level international, regional and national officials.

The programme will feature high-level plenaries, investment forums, panel discussions, bilateral and group meetings, exhibitions, and technical tours, all aimed at maximising networking, investment matchmaking, and knowledge exchange.
