According to the PCS, Africa’s journey towards digital transformation requires a tri-fold approach namely innovation, collaboration, and action.
“Innovation and technology are helping African countries to trade and exchange more with each other, improve efficiency in financial services, and share lessons and experiences for improving the viability of our micro, small and medium enterprises,” Mudavadi stated.
He said the conference, running under the theme ‘Shaping the Future of a Connected Africa: Unlocking growth beyond connectivity’, marks a significant milestone in the collective journey towards digital empowerment and inclusivity across the continent.
