Conference
New Horizons: Unleashing Startup Potential & Opportunities in Africa
Speakers: TBA
The success of music from Africa has exploded in recent years, with many established music companies building a presence in these markets. Music from these regions has climbed to the top of many charts. However little is being discussed about the ecosystem of innovative companies and the opportunities this is driving. This panel aims to shine a light on the ecosystem of entrepreneurs and start-ups driving innovation in music and tech within this vibrant market.
