Technology Information Confederation Africa
The Technology Information Confederation Africa is the ground-breaking Pan African body of technology professionals spearheading the ongoing development of the highest possible standards of information technology knowledge and practice across Africa.
The Technology space in Africa is developing rapidly as governments and businesses on the continent are deploying technology to transform and become more efficient. New and emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Software Engineering, Robotics, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Metaverse among others are becoming common. Technology has become an effective tool enabling how individuals and businesses interact. It has also helped governments engage their citizens and influencers such as celebrities connect with their community, fans and followers. However, the continent is yet to realize the full potential and benefits of these emerging technologies due to skills gaps, technology infrastructural gaps, cultural barriers, regulation red tapes in some countries just to name a few.
One major area identified to help bridge the gap is building the capacity of ICT professionals across the African continent through a platform that will help with knowledge sharing, skills development, partnership and investment by technology organizations.
