Growth in Africa’s technology space is rapidly changing the continent’s macroeconomic landscape. Most African governments are embracing wide-ranging communication solutions for voice, data & video, increasing internet access, and making IT a crucial plank of their development plans. Africa is amidst digital migration and Smartphone penetration is witnessing a phenomenal upward trajectory across the continent.

As digitization unfolds across the African nations, it brings forth a need to enhance perspective, innovate and collaborate in a multifaceted manner. The Convergence Africa World will provide a platform to deliberate on convergence of these services and will focus on new-age technologies and merging business solutions that harness the young population to create a wave of technological transformation in the continent. The expo will showcase innovation and merger of technologies over any screen – be it a computer / laptop, telephone or TV screen. Focused business matching will provide the perfect opportunity to network with industry bellwethers and establish new relationships.
