The Nordic Africa EV Summit is a working platform connecting Africa’s electric mobility transition with Nordic leadership in transport, energy systems, and battery energy storage. Through twin-city convenings in the Nordics and Africa, the Summit brings together governments, utilities, fleet operators, financiers, and technology providers to move electric mobility from pilots to scalable deployment. With a focus on trade corridors, public transport, fleet electrification, and storage-backed charging infrastructure, the Summit aligns policy, investment, and real-world implementation to enable reliable, low-carbon transport systems even where grids are constrained.

The Addis Ababa  program convenes African decision-makers and Nordic industry leaders for four focused days of working sessions, system learning, and high-level engagement in the African EV Capital. Ethiopia became the first country in the world to ban the import of fossil fuel-powered vehicles, mandating that only electric vehicles (EVs) be imported to reduce high foreign exchange spending on fuel imports. The objective is clear: connect Africa’s accelerating EV transition with Nordic experience in large-scale deployment, grid integration, and market design.
