About Us

Event Overview
The oil and gas industry across North Africa is at a pivotal moment. Operators face growing pressure to improve reliability, safety, and efficiency while managing ageing infrastructure, expanding digital systems, and rising cyber threats. ICA Africa, co-located with the prestigious Asset Integrity Management Conference and Showcase (AIMCS Africa), brings the region's energy community together in Cairo to address these challenges head-on and chart a path toward a more efficient, sustainable, and economical future.
At its core, ICA Africa is a platform built for the end user. Engineers, operations managers, automation and instrumentation specialists, and OT security professionals from national oil companies, international operators, refineries, and petrochemical and gas facilities across North Africa meet directly with leading global technology providers. This is not a one-way sales conversation but a genuine exchange, where operators share the realities of their operations and technology leaders respond with proven solutions and lessons from deployments worldwide.
The conference programme focuses on the region's most pressing issues, including modernising legacy control systems, securing connected OT environments, enabling predictive maintenance and remote operations, developing local talent, and using automation to support energy efficiency and emissions reduction. Renowned thought leaders, operator case studies, and interactive panels deliver practical insights, while the showcase floor offers a hands-on look at the latest in instrumentation, control systems, cybersecurity, and digital technologies.
Beyond the sessions, ICA Africa is designed to build lasting partnerships. Dedicated networking opportunities connect end users with peers and solution providers, and the co-location with AIMCS Africa extends that network across maintenance, inspection, and asset integrity. Whether you are an operator seeking answers to real operational challenges or a technology provider looking to serve the North African market, ICA Africa is where the conversations that shape the industry's future begin
