Enabling the Next Wave of Growth for Technology Companies in Africa
Africa’s diverse sectors and emerging economies hold huge promise for investors globally, especially with the increasing penetration of digital technologies, and the disruption they bring to Africa’s large markets. In 2021 alone, African startups have drawn a whopping $3.7b investment capital, with about six startups attaining the billion-dollar unicorn status.
In a bid to take advantage of the many opportunities emerging technology offers and drive transparency and visibility of investments in the space, Nigerian Exchange Limited is taking definite actions to introduce a specialised Technology Board which aims to encourage listing of companies in the Nigerian Technology Space.
This event is poised to highlight the features and benefits of the coming board.
