The 10th Africa Fintech Summit, Norrsken AfricaWeek 2023, and the 26th edition of Africa Tech Festival are all taking part in this year’s Official Africa Tech Roadshow.
Beginning in Lusaka, Zambia with the 10th Africa Fintech Summit, the roadshow will then journey to Kigali, Rwanda for the Norrsken AfricaWeek 2023, and will conclude with the Africa Tech Festival 2023 in Cape Town, South Africa, giving delegates the opportunity to transcend the borders holding back a truly Pan-African tech industry.
Many industry stakeholders and corporations spend lots of time and money attending various conferences and industry events; the Roadshow simplifies this and gives delegates the opportunity to make the most of their time and resources by unlocking savings on registration, accommodation, and airfare to any and all of the Roadshow’s events while also publicly distinguishing this year’s ‘go-to’ technology events in Africa.
The Africa Fintech Summit (November 2-3, 2023 in Lusaka, Zambia), now on its landmark 10th edition, is the largest bi-annual gathering of Africa’s financial technology visionaries, regulators, investors, and other stakeholders. Over 700+ delegates will enjoy the opportunity to dive into Africa’s largest tech sub-sector in a meaningful way, connect with decision makers in both the public and private spheres, and explore the many ways, people, and industries impacted by Africa’s fintech ecosystem. The confluence that is AFTS will feature 14 engaging panel conversations, fireside chats with regulators, an exhibition of Africa’s top fintechs, invite-only VIP Dinner, networking happy hours, Lusaka ecosystem tour, and conclude with the 6th AlphaExpo Pitch Competition where 15 startups from across the continent will pitch for the opportunity to win a prize.
Norrsken Africa Week (November 8–9, 2023 in Kigali, Rwanda) is where African tech meets global capital. We are bringing LPs, VCs and founders from all over the world, to celebrate African innovation and facilitate valuable connections between investors and startups. At NAW2023, we are inviting Africa’s tech and startup ecosystem to Norrsken House Kigali, the largest startup hub on the continent, and home for connections and conversations that will power Africa’s digital future.
