Summit
Systemic digital transformation requires a multilayered platform of cooperation between companies, government and civil society – and Africa Tech Week, taking place on 5-6 May 2021 in Cape Town provides a unique opportunity for exactly this dialogue to take place.
Interact with business leaders shaping the way to the future. Meet and collaborate with top executives in your industry and develop partnerships to scale up 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.
Africa Tech Week is a technology conference, an exhibition and a Technology Awards Ceremony. It focuses on educating South Africa and other African countries on the challenges and opportunities to be gained by their drafting appropriate plans and policies for the 4th Industrial revolution. African Tech Week will also recognize and reward companies on the continent that have demonstrated excellence in the area of innovative product development. The speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent.
