Zimbabwe is set to host the 6th Transform Africa Summit from April 26 to 28, at the Victoria Falls after beating 36 other Smart Africa Alliance member bids.
“The Transform Africa Summit will be held outside Rwanda for the first time and we are pleased to have our active member country Zimbabwe hosting us in the city of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
The TAS 2023 will once again underline the commitment of African Governments towards accelerating Africa’s digital agenda. We are welcoming all digital players from public and private sector on the continent in April in Zimbabwe. 2023 is a landmark year for Africa’s digital transformation,” said director general and CEO of Smart Africa, Mr. Lacina Koné.
“Connect, Transform and Innovate” is the theme of this year’s edition where the focus will be on regulation and policy, digital infrastructure financing, capacity building and skills development and digital continental trade among other key aspects.
Mr Koné said heads of states, who constitute Smart Africa’s board as well as ministers, international industry leaders and key players in ICT will attend the three-day event aimed at making core decisions for Africa’s socio-economic development through ICT.
The summit will be open for public participation through exhibitions and multiple discussion panels and roundtables.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa will open the summit and welcome other Heads of State including Rwandese president Paul Kagame, who is the chairman of the Smart Africa Board and will convene a Board meeting at the summit.
The Transform Africa Summit is the leading Africa tech and digital event organised by Smart Africa which annually gathers over 5000 delegates from more than 100 countries to engage on the digital transformation of the continent across multiple sectors.
