Nairobi Tech Week to take place in April

The event, which is taking place under the theme “The Role of Technology in Problem Solving for Africa’s Future”, will take place on 19-21 April 2018 at Strathmore University.

In conjunction with title sponsor Microsoft, Nairobi Tech Week presents a three-day event featuring panel discussions, workshops and a hackathon.

For the first time, the event will also host an awards show, in a bid to recognise companies playing influential roles and driving impact within Silicon Savannah.

“Our aim is to launch a community-driven tech event focused on developers, thought leaders within the tech space as well as the best innovations in Sub-Saharan Africa,” said Sandra Mukidza, the main event organiser.

Various organisations will feature in the event, including iHub, Africa’s Talking, Swahili Box, AngelHack, M-Power, and CBO. Tickets can be obtained here and nominations for the awards made here.
