Tunisia is hosting the second edition of Big Tech Africa, a prominent technology and startup exhibition that has attracted more than 100 startups and representatives from around 30 countries. Over three days, the event aims to cement its status as the continent’s leading digital gathering, fostering investment, innovation, and business opportunities.

This year’s forum features a strong international investor presence, with more than 30 startup‑funding specialists expected to attend, according to Skander Haddar, head of the organizing committee. The event offers a valuable networking platform for innovators, enabling them to expand professional contacts and increase visibility. For startups, such gatherings are essential for connecting with potential partners, investors, and clients, thereby boosting growth prospects.

Big Tech Africa also serves as a catalyst for Tunisia’s ambition to become a leading African tech hub. The majority of the 200 exhibitors are Tunisian, showcasing the country’s burgeoning technology sector. The program includes conferences on pressing topics such as sustainable innovation and the future of artificial intelligence in Africa, aiming to address the continent’s unique challenges and opportunities while promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing among stakeholders.

Organizers expect the event to draw over 15,000 visitors before concluding on Thursday. Their efforts to create a comprehensive platform for technology and innovation have been supported by various stakeholders, including international organizations and media outlets such as the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). As Africa’s technology landscape continues to evolve, events like Big Tech Africa play a vital role in fostering growth, collaboration, and investment, ultimately contributing to the continent’s digital transformation.
