Flagship Events
We host a series of annual events as part of our outreach and ecosystem development programme, designed to increase public awareness, expand access to digital skills, and strengthen participation in Africa’s digital creative economy.
The Worldwide Women in Innovation, Incubation and Technology Summit (W-WIITS)Â is a dynamic platform dedicated
to fostering a culture of representation, action and accessibility for women
in technology, innovation, and incubation. The summit celebrates the
achievements of trailblazing women in the sector while inspiring and
empowering the next generation of digital leaders through a range of
engaging activities including masterclasses, panel discussions, exhibitions,
diva spotlight, and networking sessions.
The Digital Youth Festival Africa (DYF-A) is a ground-breaking initiative spearheaded by Africa Beyond 4IR (AB4IR), meticulously designed to serve as an impactful platform. Its primary objective is to provide comprehensive exposure to the digital realm, unraveling its advantages and challenges for the youth of Africa. This visionary endeavor is specifically tailored to address the needs of the youth residing in disadvantaged areas, where access to resources and exposure to the digital economy is limited. By extending a helping hand to this underserved demographic, the festival aspires to bridge the digital divide, empower and uplift young individuals, opening doors to opportunities that might remain elusive.
The Indigenous Knowledge & Tech Forum is an initiative that seeks to blend Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Artificial Intelligence. The event focuses on exploring how Artificial Intelligence can be enriched by the profound cultural wisdom of indigenous communities to address key challenges in various industries, particularly in environmental sustainability, agriculture, and data preservation. This event is an important platform for bringing together two distinct forms of intelligence, the artificial and indigenous to collaboratively solve pressing global issues.
