Africa Innovation Summit (AIS) under the patronage of President Paul Kagame of Rwanda and President Pedro Pires of Cabo Verde, taking place from 6th to 8th June 2018 in Kigali, Rwanda. The Summit will include an Exhibition by up to 50 African firms (start-ups and SMEs) to showcase innovations taking place on the continent.
The AIS has partnered with Enterprise room, a transformation consultancy specializing in starting, sustaining, and accelerating businesses, to drive the sourcing and selection of up to 50 Innovations across the continent, to be showcased at the Summit. The CEO of Enterprise room, Tracey Webster, said “We are delighted to partner with the AIS and believe the innovations selected to be showcased at the Summit will have a unique opportunity to engage the right stakeholders when it comes to discussing and unlocking blockages in the eco-system that are preventing solutions from going to scale, or ideas being commercialized.” AIS firmly believes that the solutions are in Africa and innovators need to be at the table architecting a conducive environment for Innovation to thrive in Africa.
