A large focus this year will be on digital inclusion. Millions across the continent remain disconnected, especially in rural and underserved areas. Addressing this gap means investing not just in towers and fiber optics, but also in affordable access, digital literacy, and localized content.

Key Priorities for Africa’s Telecom Future:

   Closing the rural-urban digital divide

   Expanding last-mile connectivity

   Investing in localized innovation hubs

   Building gender-inclusive telecom policies

   Strengthening cybersecurity in telecom networks

Networking and Strategic Alliances

The International Center for Strategic Alliances, the organizing body behind the event, has designed Connected Africa to be as much about partnership-building as knowledge-sharing. Attendees will benefit from structured networking sessions, business matchmaking, and collaborative workshops aimed at accelerating projects and joint ventures.

Attendees Can Expect:

   One-on-one networking meetings

   Regional roundtables to address market-specific issues

   Interactive solution showcases by leading tech vendors

   Government–private sector dialogue sessions

These activities ensure that real business gets done, beyond speeches and slide decks.

Africa’s Telecom Sector: A Story of Innovation and Resilience

Despite economic and infrastructural challenges, Africa’s telecom industry continues to break new ground. From mobile money revolutions to community-driven networks, African operators and entrepreneurs have shown that with the right support, innovation thrives.

Connected Africa is an opportunity to recognize these achievements, while also identifying what’s needed next. As global trends like edge computing, IoT, AI, and 6G research gain momentum, Africa must not be left behind. The conference serves as a call to action: to invest smarter, collaborate deeper, and empower every African through connectivity.

Building Africa’s Digital Tomorrow, Today

As the 6th Edition of Connected Africa: Telecom Innovation & Excellence Awards kicks off in Johannesburg, it carries with it a sense of urgency and optimism. The telecom sector is no longer just a utility; it’s a transformational force for economies, communities, and individuals.

Under the theme Empowering Africa’s Telecom Future, the event is more than a conference—it's a movement. One that seeks to equip Africa with the networks, skills, and systems required to thrive in the global digital economy.

If you’re a stakeholder in Africa’s digital journey—whether a telecom operator, policy-maker, tech innovator, or impact investor—Connected Africa is where you need to be.

Africa Energy Forum

El Foro de Energía de África: dando forma al futuro energético de

África El Foro de Energía de África (AEF) es el principal evento anual dedicado al desarrollo, la inversión y el avance de los sectores de energía y gas de África. Este evento, que ya cumple 27 años, no ha dejado de ofrecer una plataforma esencial en la que los gobiernos, los líderes de la industria, los inversores del sector privado y los expertos técnicos se reúnen para explorar el futuro del panorama energético de África. Este año marca un hito histórico, ya que el foro se traslada a Ciudad del Cabo (Sudáfrica) y lleva este influyente evento a uno de los principales centros de desarrollo energético del continente. Con el impresionante telón de fondo de Table Mountain, AEF está en condiciones de abordar los desafíos energéticos más apremiantes de África y abrir oportunidades para un crecimiento energético sostenible e inclusivo en todo el continente

potencial energético de África y el papel de la AEF

África, un continente rico en recursos naturales, está a punto de iniciar una transformación energética. La región cuenta con abundantes fuentes de energía renovable, como la solar, eólica e hidroeléctrica, además de vastas reservas de gas natural y petróleo. Sin embargo, muchas naciones africanas aún enfrentan desafíos importantes para satisfacer las necesidades energéticas de sus poblaciones en rápido crecimiento. La AEF se ha convertido en el punto focal para abordar estos desafíos y, al mismo tiempo, promover las inversiones en infraestructuras de energía tanto tradicionales como renovables para impulsar el futuro de África.

El Foro Energético de África (AEF) desempeña un papel crucial a la hora de impulsar el cambio, al conectar a diversas partes interesadas (líderes gubernamentales, corporaciones multinacionales, inversores y desarrolladores de energía) para formar asociaciones y soluciones viables. El foro se centra en abordar las complejas barreras que impiden el acceso a la energía y en trabajar para lograr una energía asequible, confiable y sostenible

Aspectos clave del Foro Energético de África La

AEF reúne a un grupo incomparable de expertos, ejecutivos de la industria, representantes gubernamentales y financieros. El foro presenta una variedad de presentaciones, debates y oportunidades para establecer contactos. Algunos aspectos clave que definen la AEF incluyen:

1. Un punto de encuentro para la colaboración entre el gobierno y el sector privado

Una de las principales fortalezas de la AEF reside en su capacidad para facilitar las discusiones entre los funcionarios gubernamentales y las partes interesadas del sector privado. Los gobiernos africanos desempeñan un papel central en la promoción del crecimiento energético mediante la formulación de políticas y el desarrollo de infraestructuras. Están deseosos de mostrar las importantes oportunidades de inversión disponibles en sus sectores nacionales de energía y gas.

Anuncios de políticas: Altos funcionarios gubernamentales utilizan la AEF como plataforma para dar a conocer nuevas políticas energéticas, incentivos a la inversión y marcos de asociación entre los sectores público y privado diseñados para fomentar el crecimiento del sector energético.

Participación del sector privado: A medida que aumenta la demanda de energía en África, la inversión del sector privado se vuelve cada vez más vital. La AEF permite a los actores del sector privado, incluidas las empresas de energía, los proveedores de tecnología y los inversores internacionales, colaborar con los gobiernos africanos, garantizando que los proyectos de infraestructura energética reciban la atención y la financiación que necesitan.

2. La energía renovable: un tema central en la AEF

Con el creciente énfasis mundial en la lucha contra el cambio climático, la energía renovable ocupa un lugar central en el evento de este año. África está en una posición única para capitalizar los recursos renovables. Los debates en la AEF se centrarán en acelerar la adopción de tecnologías de energía renovable, como la solar, la eólica y la hidroeléctrica, que no solo son cruciales para abordar la escasez de energía, sino que también son fundamentales para mitigar los impactos del cambio climático.
