AFRIFUELING EXPO 2026

Navigate the Future of the African Forecourt

The global retail petroleum industry is at a pivotal crossroad. In the East African region, we are no exception. The traditional service station is undergoing a radical metamorphosis, evolving from a simple refueling stop into a multi-energy, high-tech service hub.

AfriFueling Expo 2026 centers on the theme Navigate, with a specialized focus on Forecourt Transformation.

Why “Navigate the Forecourt”?

While 2025 explored “Fuels for Today and Tomorrow,” AfriFueling 2026 is about the infrastructure of execution. For service providers, Navigate represents the opportunity to showcase the tools that will help OMCs steer through digitalization, transition, and diversifying revenue streams.

The Three Pillars of Forecourt Innovation

Navigating Infrastructure & the Energy Transition

The forecourt is no longer just about underground tanks and pumps. This pillar is the stage for providers of EV fastcharging units, Autogas systems, solar integration, and vapor recovery systems.

Navigating Digital & Payment Ecosystems

The modern customer journey begins the moment a vehicle enters the forecourt. This pillar focuses on automated tank gauging (ATG), IoT-enabled dispensers, AI-driven security surveillance, and seamless fintech/payment solutions.

Navigating the Destination Experience (Non-Fuels Retail)

The forecourt is now a retail destination. This pillar focuses on C-store solutions, car wash automation, FMCG & Fresh food suppliers, QSR providers, and modern tire service equipment to maximize footfall-to-profit ratios.

WELCOME NOTE FROM THE CONVENER

Jambo and Welcome,

Following the immense success of our 2025 edition, Fuels for Today and Tomorrow, we spent the last year listening to the market. One truth emerged with absolute clarity: the battlefield for growth, resilience, and customer loyalty has shifted entirely to the Forecourt.

This year, we welcome you to Afrifueling Navigate 2026, anchored under the definitive theme: "Navigate the Forecourt of the Future."

The modern forecourt is no longer just a place to pump fuel; it is a dynamic ecosystem. Today, a single site can offer an average of 15 distinct service touchpoints across fuel and non-fuel retail segments.

Forecourts are rapidly transforming into destinations that combine fueling, convenience retail, food and beverage, electric vehicle charging, parcel collection, financial services and customer experiences within one integrated location.

AfriFueling Navigate 2026 has been carefully designed to help industry leaders understand these opportunities, embrace innovation, build strategic partnerships and discover technologies that will shape the next generation of African forecourts.

Whether you are a marketer, station owner, retailer, manufacturer, technology provider, investor or policy maker, this Expo offers an unmatched platform to network, learn and do business with leaders from across Africa and beyond.

On behalf of the Petroleum Outlets Association of Kenya and our organizing partners, I warmly invite you to Nairobi this September as we explore the future of fueling, mobility and convenience retail together.

Karibu Kenya. Karibu AfriFueling Expo 2026.
