TechCabal is set to gather the brightest minds once again in Africa’s tech ecosystem for Moonshot 2024, scheduled to take place from October 9th to 11th, 2024, at the Eko Convention Centre. With the theme “Building for the World,” this year’s conference promises to be the continent’s most significant tech event, bringing together 4,000 guests, 85 speakers, and 9 content tracks designed to spark innovation and foster collaboration across Africa.

With the theme “Building for the World,” this year’s conference promises to be the continent’s most significant tech event, bringing together 4,000 guests, 85 speakers, and 9 content tracks designed to spark innovation and foster collaboration across Africa.

According to the CEO of Big Cabal Media, Mr Tomiwa Aladekomo, “Moonshot 2024 is more than just a conference; it’s a platform where Africa’s innovators, business leaders, and entrepreneurs converge to network, collaborate, and exchange ideas that will shape the future of the continent and beyond.” The event, hosted by TechCabal, has grown exponentially since its inception. Last year, over 2,600 participants gathered for two days of impactful discussions, and this year, Moonshot is doubling down on its mission to be a global launchpad for ground-breaking solutions.

The theme, “Building for the World,” reflects the growing ambition of Africa’s tech sector to create solutions that are not only locally relevant but also globally competitive. This year’s expanded agenda will feature nine content tracks, each focused on critical areas driving Africa’s tech revolution: the Future of Commerce, Government Regulation and Policy, CleanTech and Climate Tech, the Creative Economy, Emerging Tech Fest, the Startup Festival, Entering Tech, Big Tech and Enterprise Conference, and Fuel: The Investor Conference.

Sabi, the official partner for Moonshot 2024, will play a pivotal role in this year’s conference, supporting the vision of TechCabal to bring together the continent’s top problem-solvers and innovators.

“This year’s Moonshot conference will undoubtedly spur important ideas for how African technology companies can build and service the global markets,” said Anu Adedoyin Adasolum, cofounder and CEO of Sabi. “Sabi connects African markets with one another and the rest of the world, and we applaud any initiative that aims to strengthen African commerce by fostering innovation, collaboration, and sustainable growth across the continent.”.

The event is also supported by 54 Collective (Formerly Founder Factory Africa), Raenest, Sparkle, Cchub, Budpay, Cardtonic, ZedCrest, and Vendy.

Reflecting on the journey of Moonshot, Tomiwa Aladekomo further stated “Moonshot is about building radical or innovative solutions to big problems—an opportunity to talk to people who are passionate about solving problems.” This mandate first articulated in his welcome address at last year’s event, remains the driving force behind Moonshot 2024.

TechCabal believes in the value of convening Africa’s best problem-solvers, businesspeople, and innovators to create solutions that will change the world. Moonshot 2024 is set to be the epicentre of these transformative conversations, a place where Africa’s tech future will be imagined and built.

While urging relevant stakeholders not to miss this opportunity to be part of a movement that is building not just for Africa, but for the world, Mr Aladekomo concluded thus: “As Africa’s tech ecosystem continues to grow and evolve, Moonshot 2024 will be the event where the continent’s most ambitious ideas take flight.”
