As part of the firm’s fifth-anniversary celebration, People Capacity Management (PCM) will bring together tech industry leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers to discuss the challenges facing the African tech industry and explore new ways to build sustainable business models.
The maiden edition of Africa TechEnt conference themed: Rethinking the Sustainability of the African Tech Business Model, will hold on May 26, 2023 at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Speakers will include Special Adviser on Innovation and Technology, Lagos State, Olatubosun Alake; Chief Operating Officer, Fintech Association of Nigeria, Dr. Babatunde Obrimah, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Patricia Technologies, Hanu Fejiro Agbodje, Chief Operating Officer, Termii Atinuke Idowu and Senior Country Director, US-Nigeria Council (USNC), Kelechi Ekugo.
Managing Partner, PCM, Biola Ojo, said the African tech industry has grown considerably in the last two decades, with an identifiable surge in innovation and investment.
She, however, noted that there were concerns about the sustainability of the current business models deployed by tech entrepreneurs, thus the need to focus attention not only on innovations but sustainability. This gap observed by industry stakeholders fuelled PCM’s resolve to organise the forthcoming tech conference aimed at rethinking the sustainability of the African tech business model.
Other speakers at the conference will include Regional Head of Brand and Reputation, Africa at Google, Mojolaoluwa Aderemi-Makinde; Founder, Diversity Talent Management Limited, Victor Adebayo; Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Revocube Technologies, Olufunmilayo Olanrewaju; Head, People & Culture at Patricia Technologies, Elizabeth Nyah and Founder, Eko Innovation Centre, Art of Technology, Lagos, Victor Afolabi.
“With a wide range of keynote speakers and panel discussions, attendees will gain valuable insight into the ever-evolving tech landscape while discovering new business opportunities. Whether you are a tech enthusiast or a seasoned professional, the conference is the perfect place to learn, network and get inspired.
“PCM has established a reputation for excellence over the past five years. The firm’s services, expertise and resources have made tremendous contributions to improving output and performance in both private and public sectors.
