Following a sold-out edition in 2022, the Summit will connect 300 industry leaders from across Africa with international investors, corporates, and ventures to do business.

African tech start-ups raised $1.3bn (including exits) in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 29% Year-on-Year (YoY) decrease and a 52% decline (excluding exits) according to The Big Deal Report 2023 and underscores the headwinds facing the ecosystem.

Africa Tech Summit consistently connects leading African tech ventures with global investors, with this year’s Venture Track featuring an Investment Showcase, along with one-to-one investor meetings which will continue to drive investment and collaboration forward. Interested investor-ready African ventures are encouraged to submit applications here until 15th May 2023. 

The track will provide insights across a range of sectors, while highlighting innovators tackling a range of issues, including climate and food security. The Money and DeFi track will connect fintech, Web3 and crypto leaders while unpacking investment and business opportunities from across the continent.
