The founder of the Africa Technology Expo (AT), Nnaemeka Clinton, has called for greater collaboration among African businesses and governments, saying the continent must become more integrated to unlock its innovation and economic potential.
Speaking during his opening remarks at the Africa Technology Expo in Lagos on Friday, Clinton said the event was created to strengthen Africa’s enterprise ecosystem at a time when geopolitical shifts and global changes are making it increasingly difficult for Africans to access opportunities.
He explained that the organisers had reflected on the future of enterprise in Africa and the challenges posed by evolving political and innovation landscapes before establishing this year’s edition of the expo.
“I just want to tell you why we do the work we do and how significant it is to the enterprise ecosystem,” he said.
According to him, the organisers asked themselves what the future of enterprise would look like amid changing geopolitical realities affecting Africans across political, economic and innovation sectors.
