Managing the energy transition without de-industrialisation

South Africa’s energy transition is moving from policy discussion into practical implementation, and the implications for industry are becoming more immediate.

As energy policy evolves, global carbon-related trade measures expand and investment in cleaner energy accelerates, industry is under increasing pressure to adapt while remaining competitive.

For business, the challenge is practical: how do we transition to a more sustainable energy future without increasing production costs, weakening industrial capacity or placing future growth at risk?

This discussion will take centre stage in Session 3 of SEIFSA’s 2026 Energy Conference under the theme:

Powering Industrialisation
Reliability | Affordability | Sustainability

The session will bring together leaders in climate finance, industrial policy and business to engage on the practical realities of managing the transition while protecting industrial competitiveness and securing long-term sustainability.

Attendance is complimentary.

Registration is subject to approval, with priority given to business leaders, operational decision-makers and stakeholders directly involved in energy, manufacturing and industrial development.

If the future of energy affects the future of your business, this is a conversation that matters.
