Four Nigerian startups have made it to the final roster of the Africa Tech Summit Nairobi 2024 Investment Showcase, despite the drop in financing for African startups in 2023. 

On February 14 and 15, they will showcase their solutions to a broad group of investors, industry insiders, and other innovators.

The Africa Tech Summit is a premier venue for networking and promoting tech innovation in Africa, and it is the organization behind the Investment Showcase. The objective of the Showcase is to promote cooperation and investment prospects in order to close the funding gap within the ecosystem.

More than 250 entries were received from all over Africa—from Kenya, Egypt, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, South Sudan, Malawi, Angola, Morocco, Botswana, Benin, Congo, Uganda, South Africa, Sierra Leone, and more—showing the continent’s enormous potential for collaboration and innovation.

An opportunity to showcase tech innovations in Africa

“Amidst the challenging backdrop of decreased funding for African startups in 2023, the resilient spirit of entrepreneurship continues to thrive across the continent, and we are delighted to introduce these 10 pioneering ventures for this edition of the Investment Showcase,” said Henry Umunnakwe, Ecosystems & Sales Manager of Africa Tech Summit. 

The primary aim of the Showcase is to highlight and cultivate relationships for these projects with both domestic and international investors. Over 500 participants are expected to attend the Summit, where they will have the chance to network, learn, and become aware of the newest developments and prospects in African technology.
