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.

Africa Tech Festival is a great event for me. Not only is the networking and content shared ‘world class’ but also it allows one to appreciate in one location the latest trends, subject matter experts and technologies that are driving global change including Africa under one roof. The Africa Tech Festival has become a must go-to event for me every year.
