Despite this growth, we still have a lot to do to attain global competition. That’s why at the Africa Tech Alliance Forum 2.0, stakeholders who have been there and done that, will share their experiences in the best way possible. 

They will delve into ways in which Africa and technology can continually be in sync, ultimately leading to the betterment of our future as a continent, with less dependence on other countries, but rather, putting full collaborations and partnerships into play.

The Africa Tech Alliance Forum 2.0 is an event that is going to be very different from previous forums. Themed “Sustainability & The Company of The Future”, the conference aims to unite stakeholders in order to work together towards building a sustainable and prosperous Africa through digital transformation. 

The agenda for this event has been crafted by bringing together leading digital pioneers from across Africa who are active today in creating solutions for the African market. 

They will broaden aspects such as “Harnessing Digital Identity for Digital Economy Agenda’; ‘Creating Sustainable Future through Connectivity’; ‘Blockchain & Cryptocurrency – The Future of Money’; and ‘Cloud Computing in 5G Era – Everything-As-A-Service’. They will further emphasize on ways in which 5G networks, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain/cryptocurrency, digital identity, and the Internet of Things (IoT) will shape the future of Africa’s development.

Not limited to the speakers, all participants will have the opportunity to share ideas on how best we can scale up innovation in Africa using Digital Transformation as our toolset.

The Africa Tech Alliance Forum is a gathering of leaders, influencers and experts from across Africa who will be discussing the future of technology in Africa. The forum will inspire and equip participants with the knowledge necessary to harness the potential of digital innovation for social good.

The event will also be an opportunity for participants to network with one another, as well as make new connections that can help them develop their businesses, create jobs and contribute to the growth of their communities.

“In this era of incremental change, where Africa’s growing youth population is being denied the opportunity to live up to their potential, it is important that we think big on digital development.”

Africa needs to think big when it comes to digital development. The continent needs to catch up with other technologically developed regions in the world, and a lot of the drag in growth has to do with our present social and economic structures.

The Africa Tech Alliance is dedicated to helping companies, governments, and people on the continent build successful businesses by promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology. 

Sustainability is the very thing that can help us get out of the rut we’re in now and focused on this, experts will discuss what kind of companies we want to see in 10 or 20 years’ time.

The technology sector is an important part of any country’s economy, and the Africa Tech Alliance aims to make sure that Africa is at the forefront of this area.

The programme begins with an expert panel discussion, followed by a workshop led by the speakers themselves. The event will also feature a networking event with refreshments. So if you’re interested in attending, sign up today!
