The array of industry leaders, tech entrepreneurs, policy makers and tech ecosystem players from across the continent will uncover the various mind-blowing economic challenges, scenarios and opportunities in “Harnessing Digital Identity for the digital economy agenda”; “Creating a sustainable future through connectivity”; ‘Blockchain & Cryptocurrency – The Future of Money’; and “Cloud Computing in the 5G Era – Everything as a Service”.
According to Statista, 97% of respondents to a survey on digital transformation said that the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, had accelerated digital transformation processes in their respective organizations.
Global spending on digital transformation is expected to reach $1.78 trillion in 2022. But how will this transformation manifest?
The answer lies in the trends that will shape the businesses of tomorrow. The case is no different for government: the current and progressive pace of economic and social progress shows that too many of Africa’s rising youth will be denied the opportunity to live up to their potential. Therefore, Africa should think big when it comes to digital development.
“Digital technologies offer a chance to disrupt this trajectory – opening up new avenues for rapid economic growth, innovation, job creation and access to services that would have been unimaginable just ten years ago.
“Yet there is also a growing “digital divide” and heightened cyber risks, which require urgent and coordinated action to mitigate them. Internet access remains out of reach for many citizens of the continent. Too few citizens have digital IDs or transaction accounts, preventing them from accessing critical services and e-commerce,” said Mr. Chike Onwuegbuchi, co-organizer of AfriTECH 2.0 and co-founder of the TechCastle Foundation.
Continuing, he said, “digital startups are looking for more funding and ‘traditional’ businesses are only slowly adopting digital technologies and platforms to boost productivity and sales. Few governments are investing strategically and systematically in the development of digital infrastructure, services, skills and entrepreneurship.
“To become the innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow, young Africans must be equipped with the digital skills and have access to the technology and markets that are essential to thrive in an increasingly digitalized global economy. The time to act is now! Join us at AfriTECH 2.0.
For his part, Peter Oluka, editor of TechEconomy.ng, said AfriTECH 2.0 will be a consolidation of the first edition with massive publicity and industry participation, adding that delegates should expect a problem-based forum through keynotes, panel discussions, exhibitions, Innovation Management Workshops and AfriTECH AWARDS 2022.
“Africa Tech Alliance Forum 2022 will conclude with an awards ceremony which aims to celebrate and reward companies and individuals on the African continent who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of innovative product/service development, policy /regulations, among others”.
