Diverse Perspectives Shaping the Future of the Energy Sector
The Global Black Impact Summit (GBIS) 2024, scheduled for February 27 in Dubai, aims to explore diversity’s pivotal role in shaping the future of the energy sector as it transitions towards sustainable solutions.
Panel Discussion: Energy Transition and the Significance of Diversity
Titled “Energy Transition: Highlighting the Importance of Diversity in Shaping the Future of the Energy Sector,” this insightful panel will discuss how inclusivity can drive innovative approaches, enhancing energy security and accelerating the transition to a cleaner energy future globally.
Celebrating Achievements and Promoting Excellence
Hosted by the Black Impact Foundation and organized by Energy Capital and Power, GBIS is an annual event celebrating the achievements of the Black community, promoting excellence, and uncovering untapped potential across various fields.
Bridging Disparities in the Energy Workforce
Recognizing the urgency of diversity and inclusion in the industry, GBIS 2024 addresses existing disparities.

GBIS aims to shed light on these disparities, exploring strategies to promote diversity and inclusion within the energy sector. The event emphasizes leveraging diverse perspectives for sustainable innovation, growth, and driving the transition towards renewable energy and clean technology.
Notable Speakers and Engaging Conversations
Featuring influential speakers like Atong Amos, Founder and CEO of Triple A Services&Petroleum, and Olakunle Williams, CEO of Tetracore Energy Group, the summit focuses on Black entrepreneurs leading the way in innovative clean technology solutions.
