Launchpad

the spotlight is on the African tech scene and we are seeing the far-reaching impact on the
global technology ecosystems. Even as Africa continues to churn out these impressive start-ups,
the focus should be on ensuring they are sustainable through mentorship, investment, and
scalable growth models”.
