Africa Tech Summit Connects 2020 is like all other events this year going online. The first online event follows the success of annual events held in Kigali, Washington DC and Shanghai. Africa Tech Summit will run from the 20th to the 22nd of October via mobile app and desktop.
Africa Tech Summit Connect is aiming to continue its mission of driving business, investment and connection. The summit will bring together tech leaders, corporates, international investors, start-ups and decision-makers.
“COVID-19 has driven dramatic change across the world, and technology and innovation has become the biggest enabler for this new world, even more so across Africa.
We have witnessed the collapse of some business models, new innovative pivots, and the rapid growth and adoption of online sectors.
Africa Tech Summit Connects will unpack the latest insights, showcase leading businesses and investment deals from across the African tech ecosystem, while also connecting a global audience.”
Andrew Fassnidge, Founder of Africa Tech Summit
