Africa’s Nuclear Renaissance: Powering Sustainable Growth
Theme for AFNBP 2026: Advancing Africa’s Nuclear Energy Future

Africa is at the forefront of a transformative energy shift, with nuclear power playing a pivotal role in its sustainable energy future. As the continent addresses rising energy demands and climate goals, nuclear energy is gaining momentum as a reliable and clean solution. African nations are forging ahead with ambitious nuclear programs, showcasing a resolute commitment to economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability through nuclear technology.

Nuclear energy offers Africa a powerful tool to meet its diverse needs. Beyond providing stable, low-carbon electricity to fuel industries and create jobs, nuclear technology holds immense potential in healthcare, agriculture, and water management. From powering urban centers to supporting rural development, nuclear energy is poised to enhance living standards and drive innovation across the continent, positioning Africa as a key player in the global energy transition.

The international nuclear community has a unique opportunity to engage with Africa’s growing nuclear sector. Collaborative partnerships, investment, and knowledge-sharing can accelerate the continent’s sustainable development while fostering technological advancements. By working with African nations, global stakeholders can contribute to a vibrant nuclear ecosystem that delivers mutual economic and environmental benefits.Now in its 5th edition, the Africa Nuclear Business Platform (AFNBP) 2026 is the premier high-level industry gathering, uniting African and international nuclear stakeholders to explore and advance nuclear energy developments. Join us to discuss innovative strategies, share expertise, and shape Africa’s nuclear future.

We look forward to welcoming you to Abuja, Nigeria, in April 2026!

NBP has categorised the African nuclear prospects into 3 tiers based on government support for nuclear energy, timelines and infrastructure activities.
