With adversity comes opportunity

THE FUTURE OF TECH IN AFRICA AND HOW THE YOUTH CAN GET INVOLVED

THE world is facing one of the most challenging times due to the Covid-19 pandemic and Africa has not been excluded from the negative impact. However, with adversity comes opportunity.

Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa have been at the forefront of the tech revolution in Africa and this is evident through the huge fintech investment received from various sources this year.

The rise in the penetration of mobile phones has opened many opportunities for companies to create solutions to many issues that rural people face. Mobile money transactions have increased exponentially and created many innovative start-ups.

DueDash is a platform that brings start-ups, founders, investors, corporates, and specialised services professionals together. They get to share experiences and there is a wealth of information and knowledge to guide start-ups through the daunting journey.

The Cape Town Sparring Ring was created two months ago to provide support to the African start-up community. The platform has a special focus on female and youth start-ups to gain the necessary knowledge and to build sustainable businesses. Once startups have successfully completed the “investor readiness check”, they are exposed to investors on the platform.

With funding for business support services through AWS, Freshworks and HubSpot these start-ups are exposed to professional guidance and support to assist them to turn their idea into reality.
