Session Description
In 2025, Africa is making bold strides in transforming its connectivity infrastructure—with over $10 billion invested in network modernization, broadband expansion, and satellite deployment over the past five years. These investments are fuelling a new era of inclusive, high-speed, and intelligent connectivity across urban centers and remote regions alike.
Driven by AI, cloud-native architectures, and next-gen data platforms, telecom operators and digital enterprises are revolutionizing service delivery—creating hyper-personalized experiences and future-ready business models. Meanwhile, the rise of Satellite Internet and Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs) is closing the digital divide, empowering communities, and extending Africa’s digital reach beyond traditional boundaries.
Join leading experts as they unpack the digital transformation sweeping across Africa’s connectivity ecosystem. Discover how strategic investments, policy innovation, and emerging technologies are shaping a resilient, inclusive, and globally competitive communications landscape.
