Thirteen African startups will take the global stage at this year’s Africa Tech Summit London, pitching their innovations to an international audience of investors and industry leaders on June 6 at the London Stock Exchange.
Now in its ninth edition, the summit is laser-focused on unlocking global capital for African tech ventures.
Backed by strategic partners including Amazon Web Services, Flutterwave, Fincra, Bank of America, the UK Department for Business and Trade, Payaza Africa, Tola Mobile, Wimbart, the London Stock Exchange, and TLP Advisor, the summit is set to host over 350 attendees, from founders and angel investors to venture capitalists and ecosystem builders.
The headline event is an exclusive investment showcase featuring 13 carefully selected startups ready to scale.
Nigeria leads the charge with six companies: Blueroomcare, an e-health platform enhancing mental wellness access. Build Africa, a construction-tech service streamlining site operations.
MyItura, focused on med-tech solutions. NotchHR, offering HR automation tools. Pika Insights, a data and market intelligence platform.
And WALLX Africa, tackling fraud in the digital payments space.
South Africa brings five ventures into the spotlight, including CtrlFleet, a logistics intelligence platform.
Lawyered Up, which digitizes legal services. NjiaPay, an emerging payments startup. Rafiki, focused on next-gen recruitment. And Smartfill, a tech-enabled waste management platform.
Rounding out the list are pan-African fintech disruptors Blockradar and straitPay, both aiming to simplify payments across the continent.
“This is a critical time for African ventures,” said Andrew Fassnidge, founder of Africa Tech Summit.
“The funding taps may have slowed, but the appetite for scalable, impactful African solutions hasn’t gone anywhere. We aim to connect ventures with global investors and capital markets at the London Stock Exchange next month. In a complex, shifting economic landscape, we need bold conversations, real opportunities, and capital that moves.”
With global VC interest in Africa showing signs of cautious optimism, the summit offers founders a timely chance to secure partnerships that could supercharge their growth and bring local solutions to international markets.
