As we look back at some echoes of impact from last year, we are reminded that some moments mark a turning point, when vision meets reality and hope fuels transformation.
Gilles Babinet, our DTS 2024 Keynote Speaker, Tech Entrepreneur and Member of the AI Committee to the Prime Minister of France, captured this transformation in a single thought:
"What we see here is unique... I've always hoped to witness something like this one day, and now I’m seeing it right before my eyes."
A testament to the fact that Africa’s technological transformation is no longer a distant dream; it is happening now. This year, we return bigger, bolder, and ready to redefine progress while pushing the deeptech revolution even further.
Join us on May 8-9 at UM6P Benguerir and be part of the next chapter: https://t.co/E4xHY8a74P
