Foreign Investment for Digital Ecosystem of Africa, Cooperation & Best practices
15:15 - 16:15

However, certain sectors and areas have not been able to attract enough financing, making it imperative to develop innovative financing models that address the unique needs of the ecosystem. Given that bridging the digital divide by 2030 is estimated to require over $100 billion, implementing these innovative models is crucial to ensure that all stakeholders can participate in the digitalization efforts across the continent. This session will be a Storytelling on Smart Africa projects that have reached maturity.
