A dive into innovative technologies that cover land , earth and space technologies that have an impact in society and how they are transforming the traditional ecosystems for a way forward that will change the future as we know it. Panel discussions, masterclasses and workshops surrounding challenges.Â
This year, we are planning to go across the country and continent to find the most amazing tech and tech-enabled start-ups that are solving Africa’s problems. We will be unpacking ecosystem realities and tap into international success stories and country conditions that make for attractive entrepreneurial growth. We will deep dive into the start-up landscape in Africa and hear from countries and the start-ups on what support mechanisms enable their growth and success.
