Bringing Together the Mozambican and Global Energy Industry
We are pleased to announce the 7th Mozambique Gas Summit & Exhibition, in partnership with ENH, will be returning to the Joaquim Chissano International Conference Center, Maputo, Mozambique on 28 – 30 September 2021.
Since its inception in 2013, MGS has grown to be the largest, most successful Gas event in Mozambique to date. A true testament of the exciting growth and opportunities that the country’s energy sector has to offer.

The event welcomed over 1000 attendees from the entire value chain, 130 exhibiting companies, 55 expert speakers and 11 industry sponsors who came together to share insights, do business and collaborate towards the successful development of the Gas & LNG industry.
In 2020, despite challenging times, the virtual event was a great success with 400+ users on platform, 1243 Connections made, 45 Speakers, 18 Sponsors & Supporters and 32 Exhibitors. Read the Executive Summary by Pat Roberts here.
