Global Africa Tech
All Networks. One Convergence.
The Countdown Begins
Join Africa's most influential gathering of technology leaders and policymakers
Why This Summit
Matters
Telecommunications have become a strategic sovereignty issue for Africa.
In a global context shaped by technological competition, geopolitical tensions, and increasing digital dependency, Africa must control its networks, secure its infrastructure, and protect its data flows.
Global Africa Tech 2026, held under the High Patronage of the President of the Republic and led by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, provides a continental, institutional platform to align public policy, infrastructure strategy, investment, and innovation around a shared African vision.
This summit is not a trade fair.
It is not a purely technical conference.
It is a strategic convergence space, designed to accelerate Africa's digital sovereignty and long-term technological autonomy.
