    Africa Gathering celebrates its fifth anniversary with a conference showcasing the role of African women in the technology sector in Africa, hosted by the BBC Africa Team. We will investigate ideas that have emerged in recent times across the continent and discuss the challenges still present around funding and investment.

    Africa Gathering 2013 will be a key event for women innovators and investors who want to discover and invest in African technology ecosystems. We will highlight and debate the rise of women in technology across Africa through a special series of themed presentations and in-depth networking.

    “We will demonstrate how African innovators – especially women – are moving fast and taking the lead in developing amazing local technological solutions. We also aim to demystify the relationship between investors and African entrepreneurs.” said conference curator Marieme Jamme.

    During the two-day event moderated by Wayan Vota, experts and important thinkers will inspire delegates with in-depth panels, educational presentations and thought leadership sessions. We will offer a new perspective to encourage active involvement from Africa-focused businesses, investors, and funders, by highlighting grassroots, emerging technologies, and solutions relevant to Africa.

    Be sure to get your ticket now! The early bird discount ends on Saturday.
