Africa Tech Summit Nairobi powered by Raenest, the leading B2B event connecting the African tech ecosystem, is excited to announce the 10 African tech ventures selected to showcase their innovative solutions for potential funding and partnerships on February 12th and 13th at the Sarit Expo Centre in Nairobi.
Over 200 submissions were received from more than 24 countries, including Burundi, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, Mali, Morocco, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Chad, and Rwanda.
The 10 ventures, representing sectors such as fintech, insurtech, healthtech, agritech, and cleantech, were chosen for their innovative ideas and potential to drive significant impact across the continent.
Recently released data from the startup funding tracker Africa: The Big Deal reveals that fintech accounted for nearly half of all startup funding in 2024.
Among the four largest fundraisers was Moniepoint, which secured $110 million in a Series C round, valuing the company at over $1 billion and making it Africa’s eighth Unicorn.
