 “The energy industry in Africa is growing rapidly, but it also faces a unique set of challenges,” said Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, Founder and Chairman of APO Group. “Through the creation of APO Group, I have helped drive innovation, attract investment and foster collaborations in numerous African industries from technology to logistics; sport to tourism. Joining the Advisory Board of the Africa Energy Chamber is the perfect way for me to support the energy industry in the same way.”
