Trailblazers in the technology and business circle in Africa are set to gather in Lagos, Nigeria (West Africa) on 9 November 2022<\/strong> for another edition of Africa Tech Alliance Forum<\/strong> (AfriTECH 2.0) as the continent\u2019s sought-after technology Forum, exhibition, and awards ceremony.<\/p>\n

AfriTECH 2.0 scheduled to hold at Oriental Hotel, Lekki Road, is focused on \u2018Sustainability and The Company of the Future\u2019<\/em><\/strong>, as the central theme.<\/p>\n

According to the organisers from TechCastle Foundation and TechEconomy.ng, AfriTECH 2.0 will convene Business leaders\/CEOs of Companies and Organisations, Innovators, Government Representatives, International Organizations, Diplomats, Investors, Academia, Start-ups and Entrepreneurs in their numbers.<\/p>\n

The array of industry leaders, and tech-entrepreneurs, decision-makers, and tech ecosystem players from across the continent, will unpack the various challenges, scenarios, and mind-blowing economic opportunities in \u2018Harnessing Digital Identity for Digital Economy Agenda\u2019; \u2018Creating Sustainable Future through Connectivity\u2019; \u2018Blockchain & Cryptocurrency \u2013 The Future of Money\u2019; and \u2018Cloud Computing in 5G Era \u2013 Everything-As-A-Service\u2019.<\/p>\n

According to Statista, 97% of respondents to a digital transformation survey stated that the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, sped up digital transformation processes in their respective organisations.<\/p>\n

Global spending on digital transformation is projected to reach $1.78 trillion in 2022. But in what ways will this transformation manifest?<\/p>\n

\"AfricaThe answer lies in trends that will shape the businesses of tomorrow. The case is no different for the Government: The current, incremental pace of economic and social advancement shows too many of Africa\u2019s expanding youth population will be denied the opportunity to live up to their potential. Therefore, Africa should think big on digital development.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigital technologies offer a chance to disrupt this trajectory \u2013 unlocking new pathways for rapid economic growth, innovation, job creation and access to services which would have been unimaginable only a decade ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cYet there is also a growing \u2018digital divide\u2019, and increased cyber risks, which need urgent and coordinated action to mitigate. Access to the internet remains out of reach for many citizens in the continent. Too few citizens have digital IDs or transaction accounts \u2013 locking them out of access to critical services and e-commerce\u201d, said Mr. Chike Onwuegbuchi, the co-Convener AfriTECH 2.0 and Co-Founder of TechCastle Foundation.<\/p>\n

Continuing, he said, \u201cDigital startups seek more funding and \u2018traditional\u2019 businesses are only slowly adopting digital technologies and platforms to boost productivity and sales. Few governments are investing strategically and systematically in developing digital infrastructure, services, skills and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo become tomorrow\u2019s innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders, Africa\u2019s youth need to be empowered with the digital skills and access to technology and markets that are essential to thrive in an increasingly digitized global economy. The time for action is now! Join us at AfriTECH 2.0<\/p>\n

On his part, Peter Oluka, the Editor of TechEconomy.ng, said that AfriTECH 2.0 will be a consolidation on the last year\u2019s edition with massive publicity and industry participation, adding that delegates should expect issue-based Forum through Keynotes, Panel Discussions, Exhibitions, Innovation Management Workshops, and AfriTECH AWARDS 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica Tech Alliance Forum 2022 will culminate in awards ceremony which aims to celebrate and reward companies and individuals on the African continent that have demonstrated excellence in the areas of innovative product\/service development, policy\/regulations, amongst other areas\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited about the feedbacks so far with regards potential speakers, panellists and even the potential awardees.<\/p>\n

Delegates will be exposed to unique insights into the different ways 5G networks, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain\/cryptocurrency, digital identity, and the Internet of Things (IoT) will shape the future of Africa\u2019s development.<\/p>\n
