Alkagesta said it participated in African Energy Week 2026 in Cape Town, with Rustam Mirzoev representing the company throughout the five-day programme. In a company press release, Alkagesta described the event as an opportunity to engage with policymakers, investors and industry leaders in African energy markets. The announcement also referred to its petroleum products and fertilizer supply activities across West and East Africa.
According to Alkagesta, the conference brought together public- and private-sector participants from upstream, midstream and downstream energy businesses, as well as renewables and energy services. Its account of the programme focused on Africa’s position in global energy markets amid geopolitical change, investment requirements across the continent and the steps needed to move projects from development pipelines into delivery. Those discussions covered power, hydrocarbons and renewable energy.
The release identified energy security and Africa’s potential role as a centre for hydrocarbon growth among the subjects addressed during the event. Other themes included financing renewable energy development, bringing renewed activity to onshore and brownfield assets, and exploring the potential of frontier basins. Alkagesta presented these as conference topics rather than announcing specific investments or project commitments of its own.
Country-focused investment sessions covered Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, the company said. These sessions examined regional opportunities associated with exploration and production across the continent. The announcement’s description of the conference was centred on energy-sector investment and development; it did not set out a separate fertilizer agenda or provide details of fertilizer-related discussions involving Mirzoev.
Alkagesta said attendance offered a way to strengthen relationships supporting its African operations, which it described as growing. Its reference to fertilizer supply provided context for its broader commodity-market presence, but the release gave no fertilizer volumes, product specifications, supply agreements or delivery schedules. It also did not identify any commercial transaction resulting from the conference.
