With the upcoming AFRICA GITEX event just around the corner, we’re taking a moment to reflect on how fast digital transformation has taken over the world. Over the past decade, countries and economies have been positively impacted by the rapid adoption of digital technologies. Today, we see emerging markets following this trend of digitizing important aspects of their businesses and daily lives.
Digital Transformation In Emerging African Territories
Emerging territories, like Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, have now become a haven for startup businesses developing innovative technologies. As a continent, Africa is no longer viewed as a conglomeration of isolated states. With increased mobile device usage and a growing tech-savvy young population, Africa has become more digitally connected than ever before.
Governments of various African countries, like Morocco, Kenya, DRC, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, are actively supporting startups, and helping entrepreneurs realize their digital transformation objective. While global VC funding fell by 15% in 2020, it grew by 8% to $6.5B for the African sector! However, increased funding does present new challenges to entrepreneurs – mobilizing and empowering the next generation of the workforce. Enabling this new generation of employees will require entrepreneurs to partner with experienced names who can implement mobility solutions and provide the right support at every stage of their digital transformation journey.
Apart from startups, multiple digital transformation initiatives have already begun transforming Africa for the better, and they include the following:
Artificial Intelligence (AI):
Cloud:
Cybersecurity:
Digital cities:
Digital finance:
Consumer tech:
