TechMoney Africa Summit is regarded as a gathering ‘where tech and money meets’ and the event opened up a new conversation on how African startups can position themselves to benefit from the global tech investments.

As technology keeps growing in Africa, it is quite interesting to see the region picking up race and playing an active role in the 21st century after being initially locked out of access to global tech innovation due to fragmented talent pool and lack of capital.

Over the past few years, Nigeria has become a very exciting technology destination in Africa and Lagos is gradually on course to take over the title of Africa’s tech capital from Nairobi, which has always been known as the African technology poster child.
