TRIPOLI, LIBYA — Libya’s growing energy ambitions received a significant boost this week as global consultancy IN-VR unveiled LIBYES: Say Yes to Libya, a long-term strategic initiative designed to elevate the country’s international profile, attract investment and strengthen its position in the global energy landscape.
Announced during a press conference in Tripoli, the programme marks a major step in promoting Libya’s energy opportunities to international investors, operators, service providers and financial institutions.
A Vision for Libya’s Energy Future
At the heart of the initiative is a commitment to showcase Libya as one of the most promising energy destinations in the Mediterranean and Africa.
The LIBYES programme will create a continuous platform for engagement between government stakeholders, industry leaders, investors and international partners through strategic dialogue, media outreach, technical knowledge sharing and investment-focused collaboration.
For IN-VR Chairwoman Chryssa Tsouraki, the timing could not be more important.
“For Libya to truly thrive, it needs infrastructure, renewables, refinery revamps, EPCs, and modern solutions,” Tsouraki said.
“The moment is now, and there has never been a better time for Libya.”
She emphasized that the programme seeks to reshape international perceptions of Libya and highlight its growing role in global energy security.
“Our LIBYES programme’s mission is to demystify Libya and formalise its global role as a premier Energy hub and the clear solution to Europe’s energy needs.”
Connecting Libya to Global Capital
As international interest in Libya’s energy sector continues to grow, LIBYES aims to serve as a bridge between opportunity and investment.
The initiative will focus on creating sustained visibility for Libya’s energy sector while encouraging collaboration across the entire value chain, from policymakers and national operators to international investors and technology providers.
By fostering stronger partnerships and facilitating meaningful engagement, the programme seeks to support Libya’s broader economic development while unlocking new opportunities for growth across the sector.
LIBEX 2026 Takes Center Stage
Building on more than 13 years of experience in Libya’s energy market, IN-VR also announced the launch of LIBEX (Libya Energy Week & Exhibition), scheduled for the end of 2026.
Positioned as the flagship event of the LIBYES initiative, LIBEX will serve as an international platform dedicated to showcasing Libya’s energy potential and strengthening engagement between local and global stakeholders.
The exhibition comes in response to increasing interest from international companies seeking to establish or expand their presence in Libya.
A Comprehensive Energy Platform
LIBEX 2026 will be held alongside the Second Libya-Africa International Gas Forum and the 6th Libya Energy Week, bringing together conferences, high-level meetings and exhibitions under a single umbrella.
The expanded platform will cover the full spectrum of the energy industry, including: Upstream exploration and production, Gas infrastructure and pipeline development, Refining and downstream industries, Power generation and renewable energy, Infrastructure development, and Engineering and industrial services.
With natural gas playing a central role, the event will also feature a dedicated Financing, Investment and Partnership Roundtable, creating opportunities for investors, developers and policymakers to explore future projects and collaborations.
Strengthening International Partnerships
A key feature of LIBEX will be its structured diplomatic and institutional engagement programme, bringing together delegations from Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
The objective is to foster long-term partnerships, encourage cross-border cooperation and support Libya’s emergence as a strategic energy gateway connecting regional and international markets.
As Libya continues to attract attention from global energy players, IN-VR’s dual launch of LIBYES and LIBEX signals growing confidence in the country’s potential and a renewed effort to place Libya firmly on the global energy investment map.
“There has never been a better time for Libya,” Tsouraki said, capturing the optimism behind an initiative designed to connect opportunity, investment and growth at a pivotal moment for the nation’s energy future.
