AFRICA TECH FESTIVAL
The Africa Tech Festival 2026 is the continent's largest and most influential technology and telecommunications event. Taking place from 17–19 November 2026 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in South Africa, it serves as the ultimate gathering for tech leaders, telecom operators, startups, investors, and policymakers.
The event bridges infrastructure and enterprise software through its two anchor formats, AfricaCom and AfricaTech. On the ground, the festival features over 100 hours of curated track sessions across 9 stages, massive interactive exhibition floors, and high-level policy debates at the invitation-only Ministerial Summit.
Key focus areas include scaling Artificial Intelligence (AI) production, expanding connectivity, securing fintech networks, and accelerating enterprise cloud adoption. Beyond business, it drives ecosystem growth through dedicated venture capital pitch sessions, the annual Africa Tech Festival Awards, and legendary networking events like the AFEST beach celebration.
