2025 Speakers

I've been able to attend MWC Kigali the past three years in a row and it's definitely one of the most impressive gatherings on the continent. It is a wonderful combination of important subject matter, high-level attendees, along with engaging onsite and offsite events and opportunities for substantive conversations throughout.

I am thrilled to be part of an event that celebrates innovation and connectivity across the continent. This platform is crucial for showcasing and promoting African content and stories, as it highlights the rich diversity, creativity, and resilience of our people. By sharing our unique narratives with the world, we not only foster cultural pride but also drive economic growth and technological advancement throughout Africa.

’MWC is an opportunity to get an early glimpse into the future of our continent. As we march firmly towards ubiquitous connectivity and begin to understand the potential of emerging technologies such as AI and 5G, we have some critical questions to ask around what is next? How can we galvanize for the future? How can we build on top of this incredible progress to positively transform our economies and the everyday lives of people on the continent? I look forward to probing these questions with other technologists to seeing Africa emerge as a global leader in the connected age.’
