“This annual event, which is emerging as a key catalyst for digital transformation in Africa, has propelled the continent to the forefront of the global tech stage,” emphasized LohMirmand at the opening of the 3rd edition of GITEX Africa Morocco.

With Africa’s increasingly young population, digital transition is no longer a choice but a necessity, she noted, adding that the remarkable progress already made in the African banking and telecom sectors is paving the way for rapid innovation and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies.

In this dynamic context, technology-friendly policies are gradually taking root across the continent, while investments continue to grow steadily, she noted.

GITEX Africa Morocco provides a strategic platform for venture capitalists, incubators, and research centers, thereby boosting Africa’s visibility on the international tech scene, she stressed.

This major event, building on the strength of the two previous editions, is confirming its status as a new global talent incubator, she added.
