Digitization is transforming the way we live life and conduct business. It has enabled us to make progress across various sectors, resulting in exponential growth. In African markets, technology has equipped the growing middle class with tools for advancement, broken down barriers for businesses, and created avenues for innovation and impact. What can we learn from the last decade of technological advancement and how do we leverage digitization, along with other resources, to ensure that Africa's progress is as inclusive as possible? Join us at this year's conference to engage in the dialogue and define actionable steps forward!
