13 startups will pitch at Africa Tech Summit London
On June 6, 13 startups will make their product and service pitches at the ninth Africa Tech Summit London, which aims to help African tech ventures get access to international funding.
Supported by partners such as Amazon Web Services, London Stock Exchange, Fincra, Flutterwave, Tola Mobile, Bank of America, the UK Department for Business and Trade, Payaza Africa, Wimbart, and TLP Advisor, Africa Tech Summit London will take place on June 6 at the London Stock Exchange.
More than 350 investors, founders, and business executives are expected to attend the summit to talk about how African businesses may expand internationally, deal with shifting economic conditions, and get capital. Additionally, it has an investment expo where 13 ventures present themselves to possible partners and investors this year.
Six of those businesses are based in Nigeria: construction-tech services, Blueroomcare, an e-health platform Pika Insights, a market intelligence platform, NotchHR, Build Africa, MyItura, a medical technology company, and WALLX Africa, a payment fraud detector.
Five startups—the logistics platform CtrlFleet, the waste management platform Smartfill, the legal-tech service Lawyered Up, the payments firm NjiaPay, and the employment service Rafiki—represent South Africa. The batch is completed by pan-African payment firms StraitPay and Blockradar.
“This is a critical time for African ventures,” said Andrew Fassnidge, founder of Africa Tech Summit. “The funding taps may have slowed, but the appetite for scalable, impactful African solutions hasn’t gone anywhere. We aim to connect ventures with global investors and capital markets at the London Stock Exchange next month. In a complex, shifting economic landscape, we need bold conversations, real opportunities, and capital that moves.”
