Wits Business School announces pioneer South Africa-India Energy Conference
Wits Business School will be hosting an energy conference in partnership with the Consulate General of India, to be held at the business school’s campus at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg, on November 28.
The two-day conference, dubbed Matla-Urja (meaning “energy” in Sesotho and Hindi), will bring together industry leaders and academics from South Africa and India to engage on both shared and divergent energy challenges, as well as explore investment opportunities.
It will consider energy market developments, the future energy mix and efficiency initiatives, energy financing and infrastructure.
Wits Business School says that despite strides made by India in the transition to a clean energy future, the country faces significant challenges ahead, including funding and mitigation of climate change issues.
It adds that South Africa faces the multipronged challenge of providing affordable, secure and clean energy for its citizens in ways that simultaneously combat poverty, unemployment and inequality.
“With the shared challenge of transitioning to a low-carbon economy while addressing critical socioeconomic and environmental issues, South Africa and India can benefit from the sharing of best practice, research and experience, as well as finding areas of common interest for future collaboration and investment,” it states.
The conference will be preceded by an Academic Conference on November 27, the sessions of which will include the role of oil and gas in the just energy transition, energy modelling, and skills and capacity development.
Post-conference activities will include site visits to energy companies Sasol and Eskom.
