Africa Tech Alliance Forum 2021 (#AfriTECH) has received support from the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), African ICT Foundation (AfictF) and InnovationBed.Africa.

The forum is sponsored by Zoho (Platinum sponsor), Rack Centre, CloudFlex Computing Limited Digital Encode, Galaxy Backbone Limited, Notion Technologies, NewWave Ecosystems Limited (Konn3ct.com) and Zinochrome International Nigeria Limited.

It also enjoys support from the Association of Telecommunication Companies of Nigeria (ATCON), Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), Nigeria Computer Society (NCS) and the Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON).

Organisers of the event said in a statement that the hybrid event (both online and physical) which will take place on Wednesday, October 13, 2021, at Oriental Hotel, Lekki Lagos by 10:00 am has Zoho Corporation as the Lead Sponsor.

It noted that the audience at #AfriTECH2021 will cut across C-Suite Executives, Founders, Presidents of Companies/Organisations, Presidents of Industry Associations, Startups/Entrepreneurs and Government officials, etc.

Peter Oluka, the editor of TechEconomy.ng; the organisers of #AfriTECH2021, said in a statement that COVID-19 has pushed businesses over the technology tipping point—and transformed businesses forever.

“Recent surveys and reports from PwC, Microsoft, McKinsey, IDC, etc., find that responses to COVID-19 have increased the adoption of digital technologies by several years—and that many of these changes could be here for the long haul.”

“It is important to know how these apply to your organisation and how to source the skills needed to sustain your organization,” he said.

This, Oluka added, informed the choice of the central theme of the Forum: ‘Embracing Change and Digital Transformation in the ‘New Normal’.
