International ICT Location Discovery Conference

The purpose of this conference is to support European and African IT specialist companies in their efforts to internationalise business and services delivery and take advantage of favourable conditions and access to markets.

We present location insights and local IT entrepreneurs and their organisations, and prove the capabilities of three emerging ICT services delivery locations in delivering competitive digital solutions and services for international markets.

Business Case – Software Development in Africa

Ensure projects delivery – fast, secure and without investment

Leading global brands – Amazon, Apple, BMW, Deutsche Telekom, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Mercedes, Samsung, to name a few – discovered the opportunities of working with African ICT services companies or to operate IT development centres on the continent.

Africa has convenient time zones, a vast young pool of tech talent, good IT and office infrastructure, and governments running digitalization programs to foster innovation and entrepreneurship.
