Digitalisation within the African energy sector is accelerating at a rapid rate, creating a demand for innovation and adaptation to new market technologies and the development of new skill sets within organisations, said Trade and Industry Policy Strategies executive director Saul Levin at Africa Energy Indaba, which was held on February 19 and 20. By adopting digitalisation, $300-billion could be added to Africa’s economy by 2026. However, prominence should be given to an African approach to maximise the benefit for Africa, a panel discussion led by Levin found.
