The African continent has been abuzz with discussions surrounding the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The time has arrived for Africa to embrace a borderless approach and foster collaboration across its nations.
In tandem with these discussions, digital transformation has emerged as a prevalent topic throughout Africa. Several countries on the continent have devised their digital transformation strategies. By capitalising on this digital language, we can spotlight the African Continental Free Trade Area and illuminate the abundant possibilities it holds.
This contemplation led to the inception of the Africa Digital Innovation Summit (ADIS) 2024. ADIS stands as Africa’s foremost and most cooperative gathering for digital trailblazers. It represents the inaugural global expansive summit for digital innovators in Africa, emphasising the potential of cross-border collaboration within the continent.
SPC UNIVERSE, an ecosystem building company based in Kigali, Rwanda, with a mission to establish the world’s largest network of digital innovators, collaborates with BLOCKCHAIN VIBES. The latter, a distinguished event organising company in Nigeria, is committed to promoting collaboration within the technology ecosystem through global thought leadership events. Together, they host this pan-African global expansive summit under the organisation of Africa Digital Innovation Community, the continent’s most extensive collaborative network of digital innovators.
In conversations with King David, CEO of SPC UNIVERSE, and Franklin Peters, CEO of BLOCKCHAIN VIBES, the immense potential of leveraging common discussions like digital transformation for the advancement of the African Continental Free Trade Area was highlighted. The time has arrived for Africa to unite as an ecosystem, demonstrate collaboration, and exhibit its value to the global stage.
To achieve this, the summit has been decentralised, with physical events taking place across ten countries within the four regions of Africa. ADIS 2024 will serve as a beacon of possibilities, promoting the African Continental Free Trade Area through digital transformation. The summit aims to unite Africa’s most prominent startups, investors, government entities, and digital innovators from all corners of the continent, fostering collaboration in a pan-African style.
