Victoria Island, Lagos is gearing up for an event that’s all set to spark conversations, forge alliances, and open up new horizons for Africa’s burgeoning tech scene. Mark your calendars for July 24 to 26, because the Global Tech Africa (GTA) Conference is coming to town, and it’s not just any ordinary gathering.
A Gathering of Minds
Held at the prestigious Landmark Event Centre, this year’s conference shines a spotlight on ‘Global Collaborations, Local Transformations’. It’s where the who’s who of the tech world, both from Africa and beyond, come together to brainstorm, share ideas, and chart the future course of technology on the continent.
The Excitement Builds
Dr. Inya Lawal, the brain behind the Ascend Studios Foundation and a key player in making GTA a reality, couldn’t hide her enthusiasm. “The GTA 2024 Deal Room is set to revolutionize the way investments flow into African Start-ups,” she stated. This initiative, in partnership with One Africa, is all about giving a leg-up to startups, fostering innovation, and fueling economic growth.
Deal Room: Where Magic Happens
Imagine a place where startups and investors meet, ideas collide, and possibilities unfold. That’s the Deal Room for you. It’s a space dedicated to making connections that matter, spearheaded by the collective efforts of GTA and One Africa. Olori Boye-Ajayi of One Africa shared, “Our goal is to create a platform that not only supports innovation but also propels tech companies towards impactful achievements.”
Why It Matters
