The Africa Startup Summit is part of the fourth annual Africa Tech Summit taking place live and in person in Nairobi on February 23rd – 24th and includes the Africa Money & De-Fi Summit and the Africa Mobile Summit.
The two-day event will continue to showcase Africa’s rapidly moving start-up ecosystem and entrepreneurial talent while bringing together tech leaders from the African ecosystem and international players.
Startups from around Africa will be selected by the Africa Tech Summit team and given the chance to pitch their business and their current ask – whether funding, partnership, or other – live on stage to the audience of local and international decision-makers.
Andrew Fassnidge, Founder of Africa Tech Summit (ATS) shared “We are delighted to welcome back African startups to Pitch Live on stage at Africa Tech Summit.”

He also added, “While the last two years have been very challenging globally, many tech ventures across the continent have flourished with exciting new start-ups on the rise. Supporting the ecosystem and creating a platform for these startups to connect with investors and corporates is what the Africa Startup Summit is all about.”
“While applications are open to all sectors, we are really looking forward to seeing ventures tackling climate, water, sustainability and driving positive change, as well as the new wave of De-Fi and Web3.0 ” he added.
Selected ventures will also have access to the full event, which features three Summits, and take part in the wide variety of workshops, discussions and networking sessions taking place.
