Dear Guests
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to Hormuud Telecom’s third annual Somali Success Stories event. Somalia is entering a new chapter, and energy transition is shaping our future. Access to reliable and renewable energy is opening opportunities for homes, businesses, and entrepreneurs across the country.
This year’s theme, “Somalia’s Energy Transition: Challenges, Opportunities & Climate Impact,” comes at a critical moment. Cleaner and affordable energy is not only improving lives but also reducing emissions and strengthening climate resilience.
During this conference, we’ll explore how energy innovations can drive growth, create jobs, and support sustainable development. We’ll also reflect on our progress, discuss key challenges, and plan the next steps for Somalia’s energy future.
Thank you for joining us as we work together to power Somalia’s progress.
