Spring Meetings

OVERVIEW

Home to the youngest population on the planet, Africa is leveraging the creativity and business acumen of its tech founders to become one of the most dynamic regions in the world when it comes to digital economy. Based on the success of the FinTech sector, the objective is now to explore ways to further advance Africa’s competitive edge in tech – to bring to life more innovations, notably to address development challenges and

climate change. AgriTech, FinTech, EdTech and HealthTech: in all these sectors we have seen game-changing solutions which play a pivotal role in combatting the economic recession caused by the pandemic and creating a more resilient Africa.

Please join us in this unique conversation bringing together multiple perspectives, as private sector representatives, tech founders, experts and policymakers confront their views on which approaches, regulations and business environment can help African tech entrepreneurs thrive.
