Cairo recently hosted the ninth edition of the EGYPES 2026 conference, a premier energy event for North Africa and the Mediterranean.

Running from March 30 to April 1 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center, the event operated under the theme "Transforming Energy through Collaboration, Action, and Realism."

With over 50,000 attendees and hundreds of global leaders, the conference served as a vital forum for discussing energy security amidst global uncertainty.
