Digital Africa Conference & Exhibition 2019

With technology influencing everything from healthcare, education, security and lifestyle to agriculture and food security, amazing revolutionary innovations are constantly being developed in every sphere including mobile devices, wearable technology, entertainment gizmos and so much more.

Africa is in the throes of a technological revolution, leapfrogging computers in favour of internet connections through mobile phones. But how are phones and the internet changing the lives of ordinary Africans? And what barriers do people still come up against when trying to connect?

We are at the dawn of a technological revolution that will change almost every part of our lives – jobs, relationships, economies, industries and entire regions. It promises to be, as Professor Klaus Schwab has written, “a transformation unlike anything humankind has experienced before.

In no place is that more true than Africa, a continent that is yet to see all the benefits of previous industrial revolutions. Today, only 40% of Africans have a reliable energy supply, and just 20% of people on the continent have internet access. While exponential technologies might be the driving force behind the digital revolution, it is Africa’s most important resource – its people – who can determine the direction it will take.

We are certain that Africa can one day be a continent with clean water, nutritious food, affordable housing, personalized education, top-tier medical care and non-polluting, ubiquitous energy. According to Peter Diamandis, “Humanity is now entering a period of radical transformation in which technology has the potential to significantly raise the basic standards of living for every man, woman and child on the planet. Within a generation, we will be able to provide goods and services, once reserved for the wealthy few, to any and all who need them. Or desire them.”

The time has come to position Africa for Abundance and it can only be achieved through exponential change. With the proper combination of technology, people and capital, we can meet any grand challenge Africa faces.

Digital Face-Off

Digital Face-off has been conceived to inspire and encourage innovation and creativity amongst young Africans especially those in colleges. Young innovators with ground-breaking ideas will be given the stage to present a two-minute elevator pitch of their ideas and digital solutions to the audience in a contest that will produce a winner. The winner will be recognized and given the opportunity to further develop the idea into a marketable product. Winners of the 2018 edition are Hubs.ng (Nigeria) and Farmcap (Ghana).

Organizer of Digital Africa Conference & Exhibition 2019

 

The event is organized by Digital Africa Global Consult, an international ICT consulting group promoted by professionals drawn from Africa, Europe and USA. The event is conceived as an integral part of the vision to move Africa from being a passive consumer to a dominant innovator and producer of digital technologies.

We create and execute programmes that facilitate the deliberate growth of the technology sector. While helping technology companies address the needs of local markets and reach out to the international market, we create a bridge between buyer, supplier and manufacturer, thus providing a channel through which international companies can expand their businesses into Africa with ease, less risk and profitability.

We also provide platforms where:

– Innovation and creativity are fostered,
– ICT stakeholders come together to share success stories, ideas and network
– Key decision makers and regulators are influenced
