“Africa Tech Week aims to drive economic growth in Africa through digital transformation strategies and to create awareness around the Future of IT and the trends that are defining the new normal in 2023. To drive investment in Startups and provide knowledge and skills to individuals, businesses & societies struggling with digital transformation by providing a platform for attendees to network and make new connections to further their careers and personal growth.“

Africa Tech Week is a 3-day Tech Summit, Exhibition and Awards Ceremony. It was created in order to focus on educating South Africa and other African countries on the challenges and opportunities to be gained by drafting appropriate plans and policies for the 4th Industrial revolution.

Looks to recognize and reward companies on the continent that have demonstrated excellence in the area of innovative product development.

Globally, people tend to view Africa as a continent with many challenges. We flip this perspective. We believe that Africa is a continent of exponential opportunities for problem solving and innovation from Africans, for Africans.

So, we launched our first Annual Summit Initiative in 2019, and we decided that our ultimate goal is to bring our African Changemakersfrom Academics to Entrepreneurs, Corporates, Policy Makers and SMMEs - together to collaborate and drive a transformative Digital Economy in Africa, ultimately solving issues around poverty, inequality and accessibility.

Systemic digital transformation requires a multilayered platform of cooperation between companies, government and civil society - and Africa Tech Week, taking place on

2 - 4 May in Cape Town provides a unique opportunity for exactly this dialogue to take place. Interact with business leaders shaping the future. Meet and collaborate with Top Executives in your industry and develop partnerships to scale your business.

Africa Tech Week brings together more than 300 key decision makers and provides a platform to connect with global peers in the tech industry, as well as the opportunity to learn from thought leaders charting the path which catapults Africa into the digital age.

Thought leaders who have specially devoted their time to this summit initiative in the past include Dr. Marian Croak, Vice President of Engineering, Google, Abe Smith, Head Of International, Zoom, Mr. Thomas Davin, Global Innovation Director, UNICEF, Dr. Liu
