The digital transformation journey in Africa has gained immense momentum and presents a remarkable setting to connect people, representing a US$100bn opportunity for the continent. NOVACOM Summits, with its extensive experience and customer base in the industry, has recognised the potential and value in this transformation and has taken the initiative to create a platform for industry leaders to connect, collaborate, and drive this crucial change.
