The ECOWAS Mining and Petroleum Forum (ECOMOF) is a major regional trade and conference platform dedicated to advancing cooperation, investment and sustainable development in the mining and petroleum sectors across West Africa. Established by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to support economic integration and value creation from extractive resources, ECOMOF brings together government officials, industry leaders, investors, technical experts and service providers to engage in high-level discussions, showcase opportunities and build strategic partnerships in the geo-extractives industry.
Held within the context of ECOWAS member states’ efforts to unlock the potential of mining and petroleum activities, ECOMOF serves as a focal point for addressing critical challenges such as sustainable investment, regulatory harmonisation, community engagement and technological innovation. The forum’s wide-ranging programme typically features expert panels, interactive sessions, business meetings, project presentations and networking activities designed to facilitate collaboration across borders and sectors.
Exhibition spaces at ECOMOF provide companies with the opportunity to showcase equipment, services, technology solutions and project portfolios to an audience of decision-makers and stakeholders from the entire West African region. Participants gain insight into market trends, investment prospects and strategic initiatives that help support growth in extraction, processing and energy supply chains — all while fostering dialogue on best practices for environmental stewardship and socio-economic development.
ECOMOF also plays an important role in strengthening regional integration, bringing together representatives from government ministries, national and multinational companies, financing institutions, and international organisations. Together, these stakeholders explore ways to enhance competitiveness, drive responsible development and maximise the socio-economic benefits of mineral and hydrocarbon resources across West Africa.
Whether you represent a mining corporation, petroleum producer, investor, technology provider or public sector leader, the ECOWAS Mining and Petroleum Forum offers a broad stage to discover opportunities, deepen professional networks and contribute to the sustainable growth of West Africa’s extractive industries.
