Cameroonian agri-tech relies on insects to produce consumer products

OkHi intends to on-board large banks and fintechs within the next six months as it ramps up its attempts to be a significant driver of financial inclusion across Africa.

The program supported 10 start-ups from six African countries, addressing challenges in healthcare, agriculture, AI, and industrial sectors.

As the summit came to a close on Wednesday, nine winners from over 40 pitching start-ups were named Africa's most noticeable tech start-ups.

The organisers say the event aims to connect capital to tech founders and is focused on being a deal flow platform rather than just an event.

Elisabeth Moreno believes Africans are capable of developing solutions that previously didn’t exist and can benefit not only the continent, but the entire world.

This year's Grand Summit will include more than 50 start-ups from 31 African countries, including regional champions from AfricArena's pre-summit events.

The Microsoft ISV Success program is aimed to help independent software vendors grow and scale their companies on Microsoft Azure.

The Summit will bring together AI, deep tech start-ups and investors for an event targeted at improving investment processes across Africa.

All winners will be handed gadgets, mentorship/training, cash prizes, and national recognition during Camtel's 25th anniversary celebrations.

The winning teams, who attended this week’s two-day AfricArena Nairobi Climate Tech Summit, pitched their scalable companies to investors.

The exact formula for how a business incorporates these elements will likely shift over time, and throughout different growth phases.
