After another year in which the Seedstars World teams traveled to over 70 countries around the world and 18 of them on the African continent (you can get a feeling for how the tour looks here) with the mission to find the best tech startups in emerging markets, we are now just weeks away of hosting our second edition of Seedstars Africa, our African Regional Summit on December 9th in Kigali, Rwanda. You can see the video from our last year below:

The motto of this year’s event will be “The future built in Africa” and it will bring together 30 of the brightest entrepreneurs from over 16 countries to showcase the global potential of tech entrepreneurs in all corners of the continent. It will also bring together key players from corporate (Microsoft, Intel, Google, Orange, Brussels Airlines, GSMA, Tigo, etc.) as well as government (The Minister of Youth and ICT is our opening speaker) and key investors.
We couldn’t be more excited for these entrepreneurs and want this event to play a part in accelerating a pan-African innovation ecosystem and entrepreneurship community. If you want to be part of this and see the incredible potential of these African startups for yourself, then join us and 300 other people on December 9th in Kigali by signing up here.
