About this podcast
Transformers is a deep dive into the dynamic landscape of Africa's energy and natural resources future.
We chat with mining, renewable energy, power, and oil and gas professionals and companies as they embark on transforming Africa’s natural resources for its economic development.
Should you be keen on learning about the opportunities in Africa, or curious about how similar companies are operating in your field then this is the pod for you. We also ask our guests about their professional journeys.
