After weeks of increasing anticipation among the regional and international tech communities, the first-ever GITEX ASIA x Ai Everything Singapore began in blistering fashion on Wednesday as capacity crowds enjoyed an action-packed opening day agenda. Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and KAOUN International in affiliation with GITEX GLOBAL, the Asian inaugural edition of the world’s largest show is running at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore from April 23-25.

Alongside 400+ global expert speakers and 250+ leading investors managing US$200 billion in assets under management (AUM), it stands to present unparalleled access to new markets, capital, talent, relationships, and opportunities.

An opening ceremony launched this unmissable three-day celebration of technological innovation, visionary collaboration, and universal digital ambition, where those who helped bring the event to life elaborated on its inspiration and what audiences can expect.

Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President of DWTC and CEO of KAOUN International, said: “We’re delighted to launch the region’s largest inaugural tech, startup, and digital investments here in Singapore, but this is not about the size. It’s about our commitment to bringing global ecosystems, countries, and cities together, powering human capital, benchmarking with the world, and forging new alliances, relationships, ideas, and opportunities whilst making the whole global universe of AI much bigger and more competitive. Whether from established markets or rising emerging economies, our responsibility is ensuring we connect and provide the chance to collaborate and compete. It’s about driving public-private partnerships and cross-industry, cross-continental collaboration because that’s the only way to go even faster and further in the new AI economy. This is the mission of GITEX.”

The Cybercrime Conundrum: Addressing A Looming US$23 Trillion Threat

Throughout its three-day duration, GITEX ASIA x Ai Everything Singapore hosts powerful debates surrounding the most pressing topics in tech – welcoming renowned tech leaders, founders, investors, national digital agency officials and regulators to discuss the fastest-changing competitive developments as formidable companies showcase the latest tech solutions revolutionising societies and industries.

Across 180+ hours of content and eight key themes, a thrilling journey into technology’s new frontiers awaits visitors through a world-class event and exhibition programme – one with cybersecurity at its core alongside AI, cloud, quantum, green tech, health tech & biotech, smart cities, startups and more.

Addressing audiences during the event inauguration, H.E. Dr. Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of Cybersecurity, UAE Government, stated: “Cybercrime does not distinguish between nations, businesses, startups, or people – and this is why we must be the first line of defence against malicious actors and build a security culture that transcends across the whole continent and beyond. This culture is a pillar of societal prosperity, security, and success. Being here in Singapore alongside so many great ecosystem partners, national security agencies, and cyber security companies amplifies our message that cyber security is paramount and integral to everything we do in a transforming digital world. We are gathered here to make this happen and forge a safe, secure, and resilient future through which digital ecosystems and economies thrive.”

For his part, Ahmed AlKetbi, Deputy Ambassador, Head of Economic, Trade and Investment, UAE Embassy in Singapore, elaborated on the robust ties between Singapore and the UAE, further enforcing H.E. Dr. Al Kuwaiti’s message that cooperation is a prerequisite to nations overcoming common obstacles and realising shared objectives.

During his inauguration address, AlKetbi added: “GITEX ASIA x Ai Everything Singapore represents an empowering platform for enhancing bilateral trade and relationships spanning government, business, people, and the private sector. Already, the UAE and Singapore enjoy a S$24 billion bilateral trade partnership, and the UAE is proud to be Singapore’s main partner in the MENA region. Furthermore, in 2019, the two governments signed the UAE-Singapore Comprehensive Partnership, a framework aimed at deepening existing areas of cooperation and exploring new areas of mutual benefit. We are open to expanding such relationships to any ambitious communities, countries, and continents – and we look forward to fruitful, comprehensive discussions throughout this week and beyond.”

With FBI and IMF projecting that average annual cybercrime costs could skyrocket from US$8.4 trillion in 2022 to over US$23 trillion by 2027, the cybercrime conundrum engulfing business communities worldwide headlined day one discussions during the GITEX Digital AI Economy Summit.

David Koh, Commissioner of Cybersecurity and Chief Executive, Cyber Security Agency of Singapore, revealed: “Singapore remains steadfast in our commitment to building a secure, open, resilient, and interoperable digital world. Even as we jostle with geopolitical tensions and transnational technological change unconstrained by geography, we should always remember that the future is in our hands. In the cyberspace, like-minded countries must work together to strengthen frameworks for responsible state behaviour, establish common security challenges solutions, develop common technical standards to safeguard digital devices, and invest in our people. Amidst uncertainties around us, there is  no better place to come together to respond to, and seize, the opportunities ahead of us.”

Women in Nigerian Tech Ecosystem Celebrate Milestones at the 4th Annual Summit

Women in Nigerian Tech Ecosystem Celebrate Milestones at the 4th Annual Summit

 

The evolving role of women in Nigeria’s technological landscape took center stage at the recently concluded “Women Entrepreneurs and Executives in Tech Summit.” The 4th edition of the summit, held in Lagos, was not just another industry event but a bold statement on the progress, empowerment, and leadership of women in the tech ecosystem. The gathering brought together some of the brightest minds, trailblazers, and innovators, shining a light on the immense contributions women are making in Nigeria’s tech space.

Amidst a backdrop where women are often objectified, underrepresented, and marginalized in the tech industry, the summit was seen as a significant turning point. It challenged deep-seated cultural norms and stereotypes, providing a platform to reframe how women are perceived, engaged with, and valued within the tech sector. The summit has become a vital tool in addressing gender bias and amplifying the need for inclusion and diversity in one of Nigeria’s fastest-growing sectors.

Success Ugochi Jumbo, CEO of “Techlife with Ugo” and the driving force behind the summit, spoke passionately about the event’s importance. “The 4th edition of the Women Entrepreneurs and Executives in Tech Summit and Awards was not only rewarding but educational for all who attended. It provided a unique platform where attendees gained valuable insights, networked with industry leaders, and, most importantly, celebrated the remarkable achievements of women in tech. It was an opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired by the incredible women who are shaping the future of technology in Nigeria and beyond.”

Jumbo emphasized that the event was designed to push boundaries and challenge societal narratives that often limit women to traditional roles, especially in male-dominated industries like technology. “If you didn’t attend, you missed out on a fantastic opportunity to learn and grow from these groundbreaking women who are not just participating in tech, but leading innovations and driving the industry forward,” she added.

The summit featured a rich lineup of panel discussions, keynote addresses, and workshops. Topics ranged from leadership and innovation to addressing systemic barriers that women face in the workplace. Participants also had the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions on the future of technology and the critical role women must play in shaping it.

The summit concluded with an awards ceremony, recognizing female entrepreneurs and executives who have made significant strides in the tech sector. These awards highlighted the exceptional talent and leadership of women who are driving change in various industries, from fintech and cybersecurity to digital marketing and software development.

With each edition, the summit has continued to grow, becoming an influential forum for fostering connections, sharing knowledge, and celebrating the accomplishments of women in tech. Beyond the recognition, the event serves as a clarion call for greater gender parity and the inclusion of women in all areas of tech, positioning them as key drivers of national development.

As the summit concluded, the overarching message was clear: the role of women in Nigeria’s tech ecosystem is no longer a narrative of exclusion but one of empowerment and leadership. The event successfully underscored the importance of nurturing and supporting women in tech, proving that they are integral to the country’s technological advancement and economic growth.

The Women Entrepreneurs and Executives in Tech Summit continues to be a beacon of change, pushing for a future where women are not only seen as equal contributors but as leaders at the forefront of technological innovation in Nigeria.

Global tech pioneers and innovators look to supercharge double-digit business growth across Africa

Global tech pioneers and innovators look to supercharge double-digit business growth across Africa

 

International powerhouse brands turn to inaugural GITEX Africa 2023 as launchpad to scale operations in the world’s next biggest digital economy

Global tech pioneers and innovators are preparing to supercharge double-digit business growth across Africa, as they eagerly anticipate the debut of the continent’s largest and most inclusive tech and start-up event in Marrakech, Morocco.

GITEX Africa will open doors for the first time from 31 May-2 June 2023, welcoming 500 exhibitors and 400 start-ups from 95 countries, with regional and international companies exuberant about the potential of the world’s rising tech continent, and the opportunities amplified by Africa’s ongoing Digital Transformation Strategy.

Among those spearheading the charge into African tech’s showpiece event is Japanese headquartered Epson; American giants Autodesk, Honeywell, Hewlett Packard, Dell, ESRi, Nutanix, Cisco and Shure; Lenovo, Huawei, and TP Link from China; along with DP World and the Technology Innovation Institute from the UAE.

With the African Union’s bold mission to unify the continent into a secure Digital Single Market by 2030, GITEX Africa exhibitors waxed lyrical about the proliferation of trends shaping the continent’s tech ecosystem, from increased internet connectivity and a rampant start-up scene, to the rise of AI and Machine Learning and a flourishing fintech sector.

These growth drivers span multiple verticals, from government services or sustainable energy and finance, to healthcare, agriculture, telecoms and education, fuelling an African tech market that, according to analysts, is on track to scale from US$115 billion in 2021 to US$712 billion by 2050.

Epson, the international technology company with 11 offices across the region, and nearly US$9 billion in global revenue in 2022, is among those looking to accelerate its intra-continental reach via GITEX Africa 2023. Neil Colquhoun, Vice President for Epson CISMETA, said a third of its MEA revenue is generated in Africa, with robust plans to fast-track regional growth.

“We have a long-term strategic vision to grow the MEA market,” said Colquhoun. “We’re committed to doubling our business from 2018 to 2025, and we’re well on track to achieving that. Ideally, we’ll try and double it again up to 2030, and a huge amount of that growth is going to be in Africa.”
Colquhoun said Epson’s core focus is on sustainability, with the company investing 100 billion yen (US$760 million) every year on developing sustainable technologies, whether for printers, projectors, scanners, smart glasses or wearable technology.

“We believe we can improve the lives of Africans and businesses,” he added. “Our printing technology is heat free for example, which equates to 83% reduction in power consumption which is critical in Africa where there are energy resource challenges. At GITEX Africa, we’ll show our entire range applicable to multiple verticals, from education, banking and healthcare, to textile manufacturing, retail, government and commercial.”

Amplifying Africa’s digital opportunity through advanced IT

Africa’s rapidly expanding digital economy is amplified by an increasingly educated and growing middle class, intensifying the demand for new technologies in a continent where 40 percent of the population is below the age of 15.

UAE-headquartered Mindware Group, and Datwyler IT Infra, based in Switzerland, will shine the spotlight on their IT/OT infrastructure solutions, software and services at GITEX Africa 2023, with both investing, and tapping into the vast prospects of the African market.

“Africa is a growing market for the IT industry, with increasing demand for technology solutions and services in different sectors such as agriculture, oil & gas, mining, banking & finance, healthcare, telecommunications and education,” commented Toni Azzi, Mindware Group’s General Manager.

“Africa is also a source of innovation and talent, with many companies investing in the region to meet the needs of the local market. While the IT industry in Africa is still in its early stages compared to more mature markets, it is poised for significant growth in the coming years and is becoming increasingly important for the global IT business.”

Asem Shadid, Managing Director for Datwyler IT Infra, MEA, added that AI, ML, FinTech, HealthTech, blockchain, and renewable energy are the hot topics shaping Africa’s tech scene, creating ample opportunities for companies such as Datwyler to venture and capitalise on the continent’s growth potential.

“As an innovative Swiss manufacturer with over 100 years’ experience and expertise, we continue to invest on our R&D to stay at the forefront of technological developments and innovations” said Shadid. “We are confident we can add value and bring significant impact on the development and growth of the Africa’s technology sector.

“Africa is a large, diverse continent, with a significant increase in technology adoption and entrepreneurship. African governments and organisations are uniting their digital transformation aspirations to modernise infrastructure and automate operations, and we foresee many opportunities for Datwyler since there’s a growing demand for technology and increasing global investment funds.”

Morocco – elevating Africa’s tech revolution
GITEX Africa 2023 is held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI of the Kingdom of Morocco, and hosted by the Digital Development Agency (ADD), a strategic public entity leading the Moroccan government’s digital transformation agenda under the authority of the Moroccan Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform.

The three-day event is organised by KAOUN International, the overseas events organising company of Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), which organises GITEX Global, the world’s largest tech show, in Dubai UAE.

Major players from Morocco’s tech landscape have signed on for GITEX Africa, in-line with the North African country’s unifying economic mission, where 60 percent of its foreign investment is directed towards Africa.

AMDIE (The Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development), MTDS, Morocco’s first internet service provider, and Ribatis, a leading provider of e-Gov platforms for African public administrations, are among the Moroccan exhibitors with a joint mission to elevate Africa’s ‘booming’ tech revolution.

“Africa’s tech ecosystem is booming, with the focus on digital transformation surging across the continent,” commented Mohamed Fayçal Benachou, CEO of Ribatis, which will highlight at GITEX Africa its ‘Karaz Single Window’ e-Gov platform, the first low code/no code digital platform dedicated to African governments.

“Ribatis belongs to Africa, and we believe in the continent’s rich potential, offering many opportunities to build large, profitable businesses. The African population is young, fast growing, and increasingly urbanised, while rapid technology adoption makes the continent a fertile arena for innovation. GITEX Africa 2023 presents an incredible opportunity to highlight Africa’s potential to the world.”

World’s largest start-up event in Africa

GITEX Africa 2023 will feature North Star Africa, converging more than 400 start-ups and 250-plus investors from across the globe to extend engagements, build connections, and scale imaginations with key stakeholders in the tech ecosystem.

A power-packed three-day conference programme will meanwhile be spearheaded by the ONE Africa Digital Summit and the GITEX Africa CEO Forum, with dedicated tracks covering fintech, digital cities, cybersecurity, coding, youth development, energy, healthcare, and agriculture.

The Regenerate Bible Study for Women Retreat Holds in December.

 

The Regenerate Bible Study for Women, a not-for-profit gathering is set to host its 2022 retreat in Lagos this December.

Regenerate as it is often called, poignantly reveals the Word of God to women, inviting them to receive God’s truth for balance, hope, and transformation.

The Retreat is scheduled to hold as follows:
Date: Saturday 3rd, December 2022.
Venue: La Madison Place Oniru, Lagos.

According to the convener, Mrs Eyitayo Iyortim, women from all-walks of life, irrespective of domination, status, or standing in life from across the country come together to have deeper intimacy with God during these retreats.

“We bond, worship, pray, study the word of God together, gain clarity and are refreshed, we just shut out the noise and distractions. Guest ministers and speakers are often invited to minister or speak at the retreat,” she said.

Mrs Iyortim said the theme for this year’s retreat, ‘Be Renewed ’, was culled from Ephesians 4:23 which reads: ‘…and be renewed in the spirit of your mind’.

“The vision, of Regenerate” Mrs Iyortim said is to “guide women into seeking God’s kingdom first and by doing so, fulfil their purposes here on earth”.

“The Regenerate Bible Study for Women is on a mission to see women from everywhere, worship God in spirit and in truth”.

The programme is FREE and occurs both physically and virtually on the group’s social media platforms.

The Retreat holds the first weekend in December every year. All adult women are invited to attend and be blessed.
