Day 1 • Tropics Tech & Influence Summit

The event

Brazzaville, Republic of Congo

TROPICS TECH & INFLUENCE SUMMIT (#TropicsTECHxINFLUENCE) is Africa’s multilingual flagship tech event where Technology intersects with society, innovation, growth, good governance and the digital economy. Africa is the gateway and a global node to the world’s fastest growing digital economies.

TROPICS TECH & INFLUENCE SUMMIT serves as a buildup event to the TROPICS BUSINESS SUMMIT - Brazzaville, Congo 2023, with the goal to drive conversations only possible on the African continent across Business, Tech and Government leaders that will shape our shared digital future and power all 54 African Economies. TROPICS TECH & INFLUENCE SUMMIT enables participants to network and keep their finger on the pulse of latest tech trends, challenges and opportunities in emerging markets globally.

Organized by the TROPICS GROUP OF COMPANIES Ltd. and OS Holdings, and supported by the Chamber of Commerce Luxembourg - Cape Verde (CCLCV), this event builds on the foundations of Africa’s leading investment summit on Africa into a single flagship tech platform. Spanning over the AFRICA DAY week, TROPICS TECH & INFLUENCE SUMMIT (26-28 May 2023) will host conferences as well as virtual exhibition markets places, providing deeper insight into today’s hottest topics in business, technology, influencer marketing and social impact including the invitation-only TROPICS DEALROOM gathering governments, global enterprises, influencer networks, chambers of commerce and communities for in-depth discussion on the role of technology in our shared digital future.

TECHNOLOGY, THE ULTIMATE CREATOR OF OPPORTUNITIES

As connectivity becomes more accessible, so does the potential to create Tech Hubs and multiples Ecosystems in Africa. This is what a connected continent can do to empower African Entrepreneurs. South Africa's Silicon Cape, for instance, has become an enabler for Tech-related startups in the country's capital city of Cape Town.

Small businesses with big ideas are given the platform to connect with investors and use funding to turn their ideas into global solutions. On the other hand, Ghana's Silicon Valley has the world looking in the direction of Africa for the next big tech hub. Their innovation centers not only enable research and education in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), they are also spaces for product development.

As more and more people in Africa get access to the internet, the opportunities for people on the continent to become global players in the digital world continue to grow.
