3rd edition of GITEX Africa Morocco inaugurated in Marrakech

3rd edition of GITEX Africa Morocco inaugurated in Marrakech

The opening ceremony of this major event, organised under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, was marked by a pre-recorded video intervention by the Head of Government, Aziz Akhannouch, and the presence of members of the Government, national and international investors, representatives of government institutions, speakers, and personalities from various fields.

This year's edition of GITEX Africa includes numerous sectoral conferences, innovative initiatives in the creative industry, and high-value-added networking forums.

This annual event marks a new stage in the positioning of the Kingdom of Morocco as a key platform for digital innovation in Africa.

Supported by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administration Reform, in collaboration with the Digital Development Agency (ADD), this event aims to foster synergies between governments, investors, entrepreneurs, and digital leaders.

One of the highlights of this edition will be the "Africa Future Connectivity" Summit, an exclusive platform that will bring together giants of telecommunications, cloud computing, and data centres.

This summit will explore the impact of high-speed Internet, the deployment of 5G and cloud technologies, while fostering public-private partnerships to shape the digital future of the continent.

Another important novelty is the Diaspora Studio, a space dedicated to networking African talent on a global scale, with the aim of fostering investment opportunities, cross-border partnerships, and the transfer of expertise between the diaspora and local technological ecosystems.

GITEX Africa Morocco will also present EdTech, AgriTech, HealthTech, and SportsTech. An approach that reinforces the ambition to make technology a lever for socio-economic transformation in Africa.

The third edition of GITEX Africa, the largest technology and business event on the continent, began, this Monday in Marrakech, in the presence of some 45,000 participants and more than 1,400 exhibitors from more than 130 countries.
