As organizations across Africa accelerate modernization, many are moving beyond basic transformation toward building AI-enabled, agentic enterprises. WSO2 is expanding its presence across the continent to help enterprises modernize legacy systems, unlock data, and create intelligent digital experiences. Ahead of WSO2Con Africa 2026 in Nairobi, Kenya, WSO2’s Vice President and General Manager for Africa Dinal Gooneratne discusses the company’s regional growth strategy, customer use cases, and why now is the right time for African organizations to embrace the next wave of enterprise innovation.
Q: WSO2 has announced WSO2Con Africa 2026 in Nairobi. What does this event represent for WSO2 and for the region?
Bringing WSO2Con to Africa for the first time is a major milestone for us. It reflects the momentum we’re seeing across the continent, where organizations are investing heavily in digital infrastructure, customer experience, AI, and modernization initiatives.
WSO2Con Africa 2026 is designed as a forum for technology leaders, architects, developers, and business decision-makers to share practical experiences, learn from peers, and explore how to move from experimentation to production-scale modernization. The conference theme, “Building the Agentic Enterprise”, focuses on how organizations can combine APIs, integration, identity, and AI to create systems that are more autonomous, intelligent, and responsive.
