The Africa HealthTech Summit is the premier healthtech summit on the continent. This third edition brings together ministers of health and ICT, national public health institutes, regulators, leading tech innovators, healthcare professionals, development partners, investors and academics, to explore how emerging technologies can be harnessed to build resilience and improve health systems and individual wellbeing across African communities.
Under the theme ‘Innovating for Community Health, Resilience and Wellbeing: Unlocking the Power of AI and Emerging Technologies,’ the summit will focus on the potential of AI, Cloud, internet of things, robotics, drones and blockchain technologies to tackle Africa’s most pressing health challenges.
Sessions will focus on strategies and solutions to strengthen health infrastructure, enhance disease prevention and surveillance, improve supply chain efficiency, expand access to diagnostics and care, build health-worker capacity, and drive progress towards universal health coverage across the continent.
Benefits of co-location for MWC Kigali visitors
Enhanced networking opportunities: co-location allows attendees to connect with a wider range of stakeholders from both the broader tech industry and the specific African healthtech ecosystem. This can lead to valuable partnerships, collaborations, and knowledge exchange.
Comprehensive understanding of the industry: by attending both events, attendees can gain a better understanding of the latest trends and developments in the global tech industry and the African health tech landscape. This can help them identify potential opportunities and challenges.
Tailored experience: attendees can customise their experience by focusing on specific areas of interest within MWC and AHTS 2024. This allows them to maximise their time and gain the most value from the events.
