Hello everyone, My name is Jerald Fan, I'm from NZ Jayo, I'm here at the future of energy conference, which is driven by the team of harnessing Africas resource, particular focus on fueling innovation to ensure equitable access to energy. And I'm curious to hear what the young people, the future of the continent have to say about this topic. So let's find out. Just need to lead their own energy transition program and their own African way. We shouldn't be pressured by forces. We should lead this charge in our own way and we should invest more into research and development and how we can better move forward going on as Africans. Also one critical speech by the former president of Maldives, he said that three Africans need to have a collective effort in protecting our critical minerals to ensure that we drive the innovation in the green energy space. Because with that consolidated effort, we can procure more minds into our continent. We will be stopping the brain drain and we are attracting more investment because at this moment, the research and the development of all these critical minerals will be, will be made in, in our continent and, and to bring more jobs and create more world for our people. Thanks so much for your attention. Hello everyone, my name is Benji and I am at a Future for Energy Conference 2024 organized by Africa Center for Energy Policy. The future for Africa looks bright without energy and energy access is very key to the developmental of this continent. Having clean energy access to reach out to all the vulnerable communities on the continent is key. Hence, we should all contribute to the fight against climate change and the shift towards a renewable. Clean and equitable transition. Thank you Hi, my name is Stefan Collinsworth from the Center for Strategic and Movement Africa and I'm here at the fake 2024 that's the future for energy Conference 2024 and I think this program is very important for Africa 600 million people do not have energy in Africa and it is important for us to have renewable energy sources that can reach all these people, bring them under the energy access and also let us harness. Our resources effectively.
