GITEX-grade in experience. African in purpose. Moving from annual declarations to year-round partnerships, investment, and implementation.
Click a hub to explore its mission focus and active commitments.
Leading Africa's government digitalisation agenda — public digital services, GovTech, DPI and responsible AI adoption inside government. The Nairobi hub anchors the State Capability mission, driving the Nairobi Delivery Cohort and policy coordination across the East African corridor.
The summit remains the annual apex — but the platform now creates value before, during and after event week, through three connected engines.
Curated, invitation-led rooms governed by relevance — ministers, regulators, CEOs and DFIs, convened across a Ministerial Roundtable, a CEO & Strategic Technology Forum, and the Digital Economy Investment Forum.
A year-round deal room mapping B2B/B2G pipelines, matching investor-founder conversations and turning DFI project dialogue into structured, trackable pipeline.
A permanent, lean institutional spine that tracks named commitments, owns the operating calendar, and reports progress publicly between summit cycles.

| Sponsorship inventory — booths, logos, banners | → | Partner products built on access, intelligence and conversion |
