The State of Tech Innovation in Africa

AfricArena is the stage where Africa's best tech startup talents shine. AfricArena believes in the potential of tech startup culture in Africa. Grounded by this belief, we accelerate the growth of these tech startups and the ecosystem in which they operate by providing a platform where they can tell their story, gain valuable networks and attain funding.The annual AfricaArena Summit is an annual conference that showcases Africa’s best startups and innovators in front of an audience of local and international investors looking for world-class talent.But before the Summit, pre-selections take place at various destinations across Africa. The AfricArena Tour scours the major capitals of the continent in search of tech startups that are shaking grounds.After the success of our previous 4 events, AfricArena Summit returned to Cape Town from the 14th to the16th of November 2021 where delegates will hear from some of the tech scene's leading visionaries, and startups will have an opportunity to pitch their innovative solutions to corporates and investors.

We are launching our own unique  report on the current state of tech innovation and investment in Africa!

Join the AfricArena Team and its partners in the virtual launch event of the AfricArena report, The State of Tech Innovation in Africa: Perspectives from founders, investors and corporates. Going into its fourth 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, we aim to bring together these 3 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. When it comes to VC funding in Africa in recent years, we see a consistent upward trend. The report unpacks the stories behind the numbers - analyzing key performing sectors; profiling innovative startups; exploring the various funding options available to founders; 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 online 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.RSVP your place into the future of tech and investment in Africa!(Zoom Webinar link will be shared with you after registration.)www.africarena.com Let&#x27;s keep in touch!<a href="https://www.facebook.com/AfricArenasummit/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/18059458/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LinkedIn</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/AfricArena2020" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Twitter </a>| <a href="https://www.instagram.com/africarena/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfB0Wg0LGlt_HOjGICOLBpA" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">YouTube </a> Check out our highlights from 2019 below!
