THE FORUM

The Forum at AFRICA 2008 will bring together CEO’s, Ministers, regulators and policy-makers from across the region to debate and shape the future of Africa’s ICT industry.

Key areas to be explored at the Forum will include the latest technologies and new infrastructure solutions being deployed across this diverse region, the prospects for the region’s fast-growing mobile markets, the impact of market liberalization and much more.

The Forum will also explore the wealth of new opportunities for business partnerships, trade and investment which are flourishing across the region, and take an in-depth look at the types of policies and strategies which have worked. The Forum will also examine the challenges which still need to be overcome before Africa is truly connected.
