Africa’s tech ecosystem reached a milestone in 2024, with over $6 billion raised in funding, according to Partech Africa. From fintech giants to health-tech breakthroughs, the continent is proving its place in the global digital economy. But one question remains: how can African brands and businesses effectively connect with their audiences in a world increasingly driven by data and technology?
That’s where marketing technology, or Martech, comes in. On February 22, 2025, Martech Africa 2.0 will gather industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers at Zone Tech Park in Lagos, Nigeria, to explore how Martech is transforming the way African businesses engage and grow in the digital age.

Voting is currently underway, allowing businesses and individuals to champion their favourites and celebrate excellence across the continent.
