Imagine a stage where the brightest minds in technology converge, united by a common goal: to propel Africa to the forefront of the global tech revolution. This is the essence of GITEX AFRICA 2024, the groundbreaking event set to take place in Marrakech, Morocco, from May 29-31.
As the curtain rises, the stage is set for an extraordinary display of talent and vision. This second edition is not just about cutting-edge advancements in digital health, finance, AI, consumer tech, cloud tech, IoT, and cybersecurity; it’s about the indomitable spirit of women who are reshaping the tech landscape in Africa and beyond.
The presence of these remarkable women leaders at GITEX AFRICA 2024 underscores a fundamental shift in the industry: no longer are women relegated to the sidelines, but rather, they are stepping into the spotlight, claiming their rightful place as the architects of Africa’s digital destiny.
Their voices, ideas, and innovations are not merely a part of the conversation; they are the driving force behind it, setting the agenda and charting the course for a brighter, more inclusive future.
Leading the charge is an awe-inspiring lineup of female trailblazers. Take Sarah Sabry, for instance. As the first Egyptian astronaut, the first Arab woman in space, and the first woman from the African continent to venture into the cosmos, Sabry is a true pioneer. Her non-profit organization, Deep Space Initiative (DSI), is on a mission to democratize space exploration and inspire the next generation of dreamers.
Then there’s Elisabeth Moreno, a powerhouse who has worn many hats—entrepreneur, senior executive, consular judge, minister, and businesswoman. As the former French Minister of Gender Equality and current President of Ring Capital, a Paris-based venture capital firm that prides itself on promoting impactful investment, Moreno is a champion of women’s empowerment and a driving force behind policies that promote diversity and inclusion.
Lavina Ramkissoon, a top-ranking leader in AI advancement, is another luminary gracing the stage at GITEX AFRICA 2024. Known as #aiMOM, Ramkissoon is on a quest to create a more intelligent tomorrow, harnessing the power of AI for the greater good.
Celina Lee, the co-founder of Zindi Africa, is a visionary entrepreneur who is making AI accessible to everyone. With a database of over 70,000 data and AI practitioners across 52 African countries and 190 countries worldwide, Zindi is at the forefront of the AI revolution on the continent.
But GITEX AFRICA’s list of remarkable women doesn’t end there. Awo Ablo, EVP for Strategy and Partnerships and Board Director at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, is a force to be reckoned with.
Lillian Barnard, President of Microsoft Africa, is a champion of digital transformation and a passionate advocate for inclusion and diversity in the tech sector.
Marelize Gorgens, AI & Health Lead at The World Bank, is leveraging innovation and digital technologies to drive human development across the globe.
And Hanna Burkhadt, Lead Innovation Fund at UNICEF, is investing in frontier tech startup solutions that benefit children and youth everywhere.
GITEX AFRICA 2024 is not just an event; it’s a movement. It’s a call to action for women across Africa and beyond to rise up, to claim their place at the table, and to shape the future of technology. With these extraordinary women leading the charge, there’s no limit to what can be achieved.
So mark your calendars for May 29-31, and prepare to embark on an unforgettable journey into the future of innovation in Marrakech. GITEX AFRICA 2024 is more than just a destination; it’s a launch pad for the next generation of women leaders who will transform Africa and the world.
