The AfriLabs Annual Gathering will mark its 10th edition in October in Nairobi, Kenya, under the theme “Africa’s Innovation Future: Policy, Partnerships, and Progress”.
AfriLabs is a network organisation that is committed to driving innovation and entrepreneurship on the continent by bringing together technology hubs, startups, investors, and other key stakeholders in the ecosystem. It counts 514 hubs across 54 countries as members.
Its flagship event, the Annual Gathering, has been held in various African cities over the last nine years, with the most recent one being in Cape Town. It brings together key stakeholders from across Africa’s technology and innovation landscape – hub leaders, founders, investors, corporates, policymakers, development agencies, academia, and media – to provide a platform to network, exchange ideas, and forge lasting partnerships.
