A DAY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN TECH
Africa’s growing technology ecosystem continues to create opportunities for young people to build skills, develop ideas and connect with others pursuing careers and businesses in the digital economy.
The African Youth in Tech Summit 2026 aims to bring some of these young minds into one space.
Whether you’re already working in tech, learning a digital skill, exploring the industry or simply curious about where technology could take you, the summit offers an opportunity to meet other young people with similar interests.
