Join the AfricArena team and its partners as they discuss the state of tech in Africa

Going into its seventh year, AfricArena has the privilege of operating in three key spheres that underpin Africa’s economic landscape. These being: tech startups, corporations, and investors (i.e. angel investors, VCs, CVCs and other institutional investors.) 

Through open innovation challenges, in partnership with corporations, the aim is to bring together these three spheres, to foster co-investment and collaboration that can move the economies and people of the continent forward.

This research provides insight into the opportunities, challenges and trends in tech innovation and investment in Africa, from the perspectives of startup founders, investors and corporates.

The report unpacks the stories behind the numbers - the VC landscape in Africa; analyzing key performing sectors; profiling innovative startups and technologies; exploring how founders fund their businesses; why and how corporations utilize open innovation strategies, and a general oversight of the tech ecosystem in Africa.

The in-person event will include: a welcome, introduction and short insights presentation from the AfricArena team, followed by a discussion with esteemed guests invited to share their thoughts on some of the key topics of the report.
