With the African population showing an increased uptake on ICT, the technology market can be seen as the catalyst for development in Africa. The summit is meant to bring Africa together to share ideas on implementing new technologies and giving entrepreneurs from all over Africa the platform to boost their business ventures and harness the potential of a collective African market.
Afri-Tech Group's chief marketing officer, Garikai Nhongo says, "One of the biggest challenges that businesses face in Africa is that we don't do business among ourselves. We don't talk or share ideas in the right way. The summit is meant to address this. We see technology as a unifier and as a result we would like the entrepreneur to see his/her market as the broader African market. We want them to see their potential not in just a few millions but in the 1 billion that Africa offers."
The summit will be addressed by international leaders including:
According to Bernard Sanganza, CEO of Afri-Tech Group "South Africa is the perfect place to hold such an important event because the country is world leader in pre-payment, revenue management and fraud prevention systems. We firmly believe South Africa is the technological Hub for the rest of the continent, and that is why both the Government and the private sector are showing their support and commitment with our Summit. Afri-Tech is the perfect platform to connect Africa with the rest of the world in terms of technology".
The Afri-Tech Technology & Digital Marketing Summit will be organised around 6 major areas of expertise: healthcare, education, banking and finance, science and technology, network Solutions and digital marketing. The main objectives will be to share, present and bring new ideas and a better understanding on how companies, governments and citizens can benefit from investing in new technologies. The programme will also feature panel sessions, corporate and government presentations and discussions on foreign investments in the ICT sectors.
