This sold-out tech event, organised by Spark Africa, aimed at fostering connections among startups, investors, founders, and products, establishing itself as a leading tech gathering on the continent.
Marked by influential keynote speakers, insightful panel sessions, engaging workshops, and a bustling deal room, the festival served as a platform to showcase the creativity, intelligence, and resilience inherent in the African entrepreneurial spirit.
The event facilitated in-depth technical conversations, with notable figures such as Napa Onwusah, Arthur Ibik, Oyin Solebo, Tage-Kene Okafor, David Adeleke, Koromone Asabe-Yobaere, Peace Obule, Eunice Ajim, Cynthia E. Chisom, and Hakeem Onasanya leading various panel sessions.

Topics ranged from investment strategies and government policies to technology trends, providing attendees with actionable takeaways and valuable insights.
The success of the 2023 Africa Startup Festival was attributed to the support of key sponsors like Airtel, Jobberman, Yebox, Interswitch, Branddrive, AfriHealth, SendPulse, DebtRecuva, Shuttlers, and Eden Life, among others.
These sponsors played a pivotal role in turning the event's ideas into reality, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa. Their support was evident not only during the festival but also in the extensive planning process.
For Spark Africa, the 2023 Africa Startup Festival is just the beginning of a series of similar events. While the overarching vision is to facilitate relationships within the ecosystem, the festival has already laid the groundwork for future collaborations. It has also created an environment characterised by mutual growth, respect, and support, setting the stage for continued success in the realm of innovation and entrepreneurship across the continent.
