The Africa Energy Indaba (AEI) has entered into a strategic partnership with the South African Electrotechnical Export Council (SAEEC) to grow and develop the African energy sector with SAEEC member companies. The SAEEC is a public–private partnership between South African business and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and was established to facilitate the export growth and internationalisation of its members. The partnership creates an opportunity for the SAEEC to be recognised as the trade association partner of the AEI 2018 being held in Johannesburg, in February.
