AIBC AFRICA

About The Event

Africa’s ability to leapfrog from one level of technological infrastructure to another makes it a potential hub for technological innovation.

This, combined with its bright future, growing workforce and its emerging industrial capacity, Africa stands to be a cornerstone of the global economy of the future with mobile phone usage already proliferating across the continent.

The rapid spread of cutting edge digital infrastructure such as the internet and the Blockchain across the continent heralds prosperity and may be a sign of the continent’s technological coming of age.

The AIBC Africa Summit seeks to be part of this revolutionary change by uniting the leaders of tomorrow with the investors of today.

Attendees will also benefit from inspiring panels, keynotes speeches by industry veterans, workshops and networking events to allow our hard-working delegates to unwind and swap business cards.

AIBC has drawn experts from across the globe to act as thought-leaders and industry pioneers, sharing their well-earned wisdom through panels, fireside chats and inspiring keynote speeches.
