Several leading US corporations from the energy, oil and gas, telecommunications, technology, and infrastructure sectors have positioned themselves for greater engagement in Libya ahead of the Libya Energy Conference 2026.
Their interest was reaffirmed during a high-level meeting in Washington on Monday with a delegation from Libya’s Government of National Unity, in an event coordinated by the US-Libya Business Association.
The meeting marked a renewed commitment to strengthening economic ties after years of limited American commercial activity in Libya.
Executives from major US firms were briefed on Libya’s latest economic reforms, new investment regulations, and flagship development programs aimed at modernising the country’s energy and industrial infrastructure.
The Libyan delegation presented detailed plans to rehabilitate the oil and gas sector, expand renewable energy capacity, upgrade the electricity grid, and open opportunities in digital transformation and telecommunications.
Officials stressed that Libya is working to create a more predictable investment climate by improving governance, ensuring transparency, and accelerating regulatory procedures.
The discussions highlighted a growing sense of optimism among U.S. companies about Libya’s direction, particularly as the country moves to stabilise institutions and revive its energy production capabilities. Participants reviewed potential areas of partnership, including offshore exploration, natural gas development, solar and wind projects, engineering services, and large-scale infrastructure construction.
The Libyan side emphasized that American expertise and technology would play a pivotal role in supporting long-term economic modernization.
Both parties agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation through expanded technical exchanges, sector-specific workshops, and continued engagement facilitated by the US-Libya Business Association.
