      Africa Tech Festival returns in November for 25th edition

      Staff Reporter by Staff Reporter
      July 25, 2022
      in Satellite/Comms
      ShareTweetPostEmail

      This year's exhibitors include Liquid Telecom, PCCW Global, Intelsat, China Mobile, Yahsat, and Motorola Solutions.  

      Africa Tech Festival, home of AfricaCom, will turn 25 this year and is set to return to Cape Town, South Africa in November after a two-year digital hiatus.

      Africa-focused technology and telecommunications event will welcome exhibitors, delegates, and policymakers from all over the world from November 7 – 11, 2022, to continue shaping the continent’s digital transformation and progress.

      The Africa Tech Festival is the new name for a week of world-class tech events in November including AfricaCom, AfricaTech, tAHUB, AFest and the AfricaCom Awards. In 2022, telecommunications, a core of the event, has broadened to include the full spectrum of technological advancements that are making a connected life across Africa and around the world, a reality.

      Speaking about what to expect a quarter of a century on, James Williams, Director, Events | Connecting Africa | Informa Tech, said: “As we know, Covid-19, sparked a rapid adoption of technology and telecommunications across the world, with digital transformation and inclusivity across Africa being no exception.

      We are excited to be back in person this year, as are our exhibitors and speakers who look to continue the advancement of the African continent as a connected digital powerhouse. The agendas for AfricaCom and AfricaTech thus reflect the optimism and opportunity that a connected continent can bring not only to its inhabitants, but the world at large.”

      Africa Tech Festival facilitates business, agreements, and an array of developmental advancements, as well as attracting key decision makers. Underlining this, and the keenness to be back on the ground, Williams confirms that over 70% of the exhibition space for this year’s event has already been sold out.  This reinforces the interest of participants in getting back to face-to-face engagement as well as the continued importance and influence of this event.

      Headliners due to speak at this year’s conference include Funke Opeke, CEO at MainOne, Nika Naghavi, Executive Director of MFS, Kuseni Dlamini, Chairman of Massmart and Dr Olufunso Somorin, Regional Principal Officer – Climate Change & Green Growth Programme, African Development Bank.

      Among the exhibitors who will be at the event to welcome visitors in 2022 are Liquid Telecom, PCCW Global, Intelsat, China Mobile, Yahsat, and Motorola Solutions.
