What to expect
PCM will expose fifteen (15) tech start-ups and their promoters with compelling business ideas to potential investors while they also get the opportunity to attend a fully sponsored six (6) weeks training programme with our affiliated company, PCM Business Academy.
Amongst several key issues to be discussed at the conference, is the leaning on foreign investment in the African tech space. While foreign investment has been essential in the growth of the industry, there are concerns that it could lead to a situation where African Tech companies become subservient to foreign investors, which may deny the entrepreneurs the opportunity to solve Africa-specific challenges.
Another critical issue to be discussed is the lack of sustainable business structures that support growth in the African tech industry. While there have been some success stories, there have also been a lot of failed start-up fintech businesses.
