Scaling Impact: Inside Elsewedy Electric’s African Strategy
What does it take to deliver energy infrastructure at scale across one of the world’s most diverse markets? And why are local partnerships becoming one of the biggest drivers of […]
Africa’s energy and infrastructure pipeline is growing, but finance alone will not translate ambition into delivery. Does the continent have the technical expertise, leadership capacity and institutional systems required to execute at scale?
Hosted by Energy News Network (ENN) and The Electricity Hub, Let’s Talk Energy continues its series, recorded at the Africa Energy Forum 2026, with Zandile Hlatwayo, Strategy & Innovation Director at Allied Talent Partners (ATP).
The conversation examines why projects often stall at execution, from weak project preparation and complex stakeholder coordination to shortages of specialist expertise at critical stages of development.
Zandile discusses ATP’s work connecting organisations with highly skilled independent professionals across energy, infrastructure, climate and sustainable development, and explains why faster access to technical talent, stronger local knowledge and more flexible workforce models could help accelerate delivery across African markets.
The episode also explores the importance of knowledge transfer, institutional capacity and long-term skills development, and why Africa’s industrialised future will depend not only on building projects, but on building the workforce capable of sustaining them.
