The content will include multinationals and their focus on Africa, the rapid shifting of audiences from offline to online, and internet penetration. All of the topics will be related to technology in Africa in one way or another.

Panelists addressing the topics will include executives from established tech leaders, mobile operators, social enterprises, and angel investors. Alisee de Tonnac, CEO and co-founder of Seedstars World; Charles Ojei, director of enterprise West Africa of Samsung; Rutger-Jan van Spaandonk, CEO of Mobile in Africa Limited; Eric Osiakwan, founder of Angel Fair Africa will be among the speakers at the event.
