The first part is hosted in Kigali and is coming up on February 4 – 6, while the second part takes place in London on May 22. The summit is a unique possibility for African tech startups to get a chance to reach a global audience.

The organizers of Africa Tech Summit had startups applying to pitch live at the event in Kigali. They received over 100 applications from all over Africa, however, only 11 startups made the cut. Nigeria tops the list with the following five entries:

With over 600 investors and associates present, they might be having a bright future ahead of them.
