About Event

In 2022 alone, Africa’s tech and innovation space saw $5.4 billion+ in deals. For the past several years, emerging markets across Africa have turned the heads of global investors interested in the world's fastest growing population, economies, and tech ecosystems - and they're not slowing down. Africa promises to be a leading driver of technology innovation and high, uncorrelated returns.

In partnership with the Black Founders Network, the African Impact Initiative, and Techstars Toronto, we are thrilled to invite you to join us during the Collision conference for a reception and networking with globally-minded investors, entrepreneurs, and key players in the African tech space.

Spaces are limited, so please register to reserve your spot. See you there!

​Hosted by Untapped Global, an international investment company connecting global investors with the most promising investment opportunities in emerging markets, in partnership with Black Founders Network and African Impact Initiative.
