Through this active engagement of startups, participants were surveyed and invaluable data collected, which allowed the organisation to unequivocally get to the core of what specific needs and challenges are faced by African startups. By hosting this Summit, the Global Startup Awards Africa can facilitate honest and forthright conversations to address not only the day-to-day business challenges effecting industry disruptors and innovators, but the immediate needs of climate change and the planet. The Summit is supported by stakeholders such as the South Africa National Convention Bureau, the City of Cape Town, and the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC), whose collective vision is to position Cape Town as Africa’s tech capital of the future. But most importantly, we want to support conferences such as this by creating shared value for SMMEs through business events. We believe the Global Startup Awards Africa is not just ticking the destination marketing box, but rather, making a significant impact on the local economy by hosting this impressive group of global partners, investors, thought leaders and African innovators.”
