WELCOME NOTE Ralf Fletcher Founder, Africa Tech Week It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Africa Tech Week (ATW), founded with the purpose of showcasing Africa’s business tech success stories to the world, and bringing together key stakeholders to co-ordinate and lead Africa’s tech-driven growth so that any organisation looking for proven models and methodologies can implement and thrive.

Africa is ready for global investors and as markets witness dramatic changes, with companies growing and failing more rapidly than ever before, making sense of the exponential evolution of technologies has never been more important than it is now.

Join us in learning how to build futureproof organisations and deal with digital disruption needed for true 21st century success. Africa Tech Week is honoured to be partnered by the Department of Science and Technology, the City of Cape Town, Southern African Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (SAVCA), Silicon Cape and ExO Works.

Our keynote speaker Salim Ismail is the founder of tech companies

Confabb, PubSub Concepts and Ångströ (acquired by Google in 2010). He is also the founding Executive Director of Singularity University and an XPRIZE Foundation board member.

Salim co-founded ExO Works in 2016 to help organisations become “exponential” – to multiply their impact or output to ten times that of their peers by leveraging rapidly accelerating technologies. His experience as Chairman of ExO Works has yielded the Exponential Transformation publication, which reached number one on Amazon’s Best-Sellers in Business Management list.

Providing insider knowledge to some of the world’s most successful and futureproof multinational companies, and offering cutting-edge intelligence on urban organisations, our 60 speakers at ATW make for a stellar line-up.

I look forward to sharing the next two days with you and to reconvening this crucial discussion on the trajectory of Africa and the Fourth Industrial Revolution in May 2020.

Best wishes Ralf Fletcher Founder, Africa Tech Week
