Africa has the world’s largest untapped renewable energy potential, yet less than 2% of global clean energy investment has reached the continent.

The Africa Renewables Investment Summit (ARIS) was created to bridge that gap—connecting bankable projects with the right capital, partners, and policy support through its Marketplace, matchmaking sessions, and policy forums.
