The IN-VR and Africa Oil Week (AOW) partnership is proud to present the AOW Prospect Forum, the premier platform for showcasing Africa’s most promising M&A and farm-in opportunities. This exclusive event is where operators and governments come together to present the most prospective and commercially compelling projects across the continent to an audience of investors, operators, and brokers.

Since its inception in 2017, when 10 pioneering companies set out their farm-in opportunities to a room full of eager investors, operators, and brokers, the AOW Prospect Forum has been at the heart of Africa Oil Week. Over the years, it has become a central and unmissable feature of the event, driving transactions and accelerating upstream development across the African energy landscape.

For 2025, we’re taking the Prospect Forum to the next level. In addition to showcasing upstream M&A and farm-in opportunities, this year’s program will also introduce infrastructure investment sessions. This program will be renamed The Africa Energy M&A Summit, Africa Oil Week

These new additions will highlight critical infrastructure projects, offering investors the chance to explore transformative opportunities that will drive development and energy access across Africa.

• Showcase Your Opportunities: Present your M&A or farm-in asset to a targeted audience of decision-makers, including global investors, operators, and brokers. We have a specialist VIP delegation of professionals committed to the M&A sector of the upstream looking for new opportunities.
• Engage Directly with Stakeholders: Connect with government officials, National Oil Companies (NOCs), and private operators actively seeking partnerships and investment for their upstream assets. See the geology and commercial terms of some of the most compelling assets in the African Upstream.
