Technology continues to evolve with the growing demand for simple and convenient ways to do our daily tasks. From banking to manufacturing, trading, and investment, the power of technology transcends borders, with Africans not lagging in joining the wagon of innovation.
Today, thousands of African startups are emerging and operating to serve the teeming population in the continent and beyond across different industries. However, as knowledge is global and no startup can thrive without the right ideas, customers, and investments, the African Startup Festival is coming to the fold to provide a platform in the form of an event for tech companies, entrepreneurs, and investors.
