Africa Gathering provides a space to bring technophiles, thinkers, entrepreneurs, innovators and everybody else together to talk about positive change in sustainable development, technology, social networking, health, education, environment and good governance in Africa.

Africa Gathering has been borne of the need to develop a results-driven conversation about technology and Africa. All over the world people have great ideas that could bring positive change to Africa. Many, though not all, of these people aren’t big charities or aid organisations – they are passionate individuals, inventors, thinkers, leaders and dreamers. These people may not have lots of money, time or the business acumen to promote their ideas on their own – but that doesn’t mean their ideas should be ignored. Africa Gathering exists to help generate interest in these people, share their ideas and promote their projects. We’re here to help bring innovators in to contact with journalists, entrepreneurs and investors – the very people who have the ability to recognise a good idea and help make it work.
