Session Description
Closing the digital divide is one of Africa’s most urgent challenges, and greatest opportunities. With millions still offline, inclusive connectivity is essential to unlocking access to education, healthcare, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
But access alone isn’t enough. A truly connected future must also nurture local talent, invest in digital skills, and foster startup ecosystems that create scalable solutions tailored to Africa’s diverse realities. Emerging ventures across the continent are already leveraging connectivity to drive impact, but additionally they need the right infrastructure, policies, and investment to scale.
Join us to discover how purpose-driven connectivity can unlock a new era of inclusive growth, digital empowerment, and entrepreneurial transformation across Africa.
