Fifteen startups have been picked to pitch to investors at the eighth Africa Tech Summit (ATS) London at the London Stock Exchange on June 7.
The ATS conference series provides insight and networking with the African tech ecosystem in London, Kenya, and West Africa, bringing together tech leaders, MNOs, banks, international investors, entrepreneurs, governments, trade bodies, media, and leading ventures to drive investment and business in African tech.
The eighth ATS London will take place on June 7 at the London Stock Exchange, featuring an investment showcase that offers startups opportunities to present their business model to investors and potential partners, garner exposure, and secure funding to propel their growth.
Fifteen startups have been selected to pitch, seven of which are from Nigeria. They are digital addressing solution OkHi, carbon finance platform Earthbond, e-health platform OneHealth, AI healthcare service PBR Life Sciences, energy solutions startup Rana Energy, clean energy venture So-Cool, and fintech startup VeendHQ.

Also pitching will be Ethiopia’s Teraki, an audio streaming platform; and Egypt’s Wfrley, an app for promotions and instant marketing.
“As we celebrate the eighth ATS London, we are delighted to spotlight 15 ventures defining the future of tech innovation. With over 150 quality entries received this year, the decision-making process was a challenging one. With several of our past ATS Investment Showcase participants securing funding and partnerships, we’re excited to see what the future holds for these ventures,” said Lauren Adair, director at Africa Tech Summit.
