Digitalising Africa
In partnership with
If Covid-19 has accelerated the adoption of digital solutions globally, in many key sectors Africa was ahead of the game. The uptake of fintech in the region has long outstripped more developed markets with established banks moving in to compete with challenger financial services providers. As businesses from sectors ranging from insurance to retail and banking to healthcare seek to implement their digital strategies, we’ll be discussing the challenges and opportunities of digitalising Africa’s economies.
Discussion points:
What improvements need to be made to internet connectivity to scale the adoption of digitalisation in Africa? What sources of investment are available to drive this?
What role does digitalisation have to play in driving Africa’s competitiveness on a global stage during and post-Covid?
What skills development is needed to drive digitalisation and leverage new technologies as a job creation opportunity?
What cybersecurity risks do companies need to consider when adopting a digilisation strategy in Africa?
