Putting African Tech on the Global Stage

Africa Tech Festival provides a 360 view of how tech and strategy evolution is reshaping Africa’s diverse industry sectors - from telecoms, financial services, healthcare, government, SME and start-ups, retail, manufacture and beyond.

Expect world-class speakers, industry leading content, two international exhibitions, and outcome-driven networking focussed on how tech integration is delivering real-world impact through enterprise excellence and socioeconomic development.

For 27 years, we’ve been a forum for conversations, connections, and celebration exploring how innovation is addressing humanity’s most pressing challenges while elevating African tech onto the global stage.
