Pressdia has announced its partnership with Africa Tech Festival 2026, the 29th edition of one of the continent’s longest-running technology gatherings, scheduled for November 17–19, 2026, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Pressdia Partnership brings the African media publication and press release distribution platform into a major gathering of technology executives, entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers working to advance digital connectivity and business innovation across the continent.
Organised by Informa, Africa Tech Festival 2026 is expected to attract more than 13,500 participants, alongside over 450 speakers and 350 exhibitors. The three-day event will explore developments in artificial intelligence, telecommunications, cybersecurity and digital infrastructure, while creating opportunities for businesses to connect with potential investors and industry partners.
The Pressdia Partnership reflects the platform’s commitment to supporting initiatives that give African businesses greater visibility and encourage collaboration across industries.
Pressdia Partnership with Africa Tech Festival 2026 Supports Business Visibility
The Pressdia Partnership with Africa Tech Festival 2026 connects two areas that play important roles in business development across Africa. While the festival provides a meeting point for technology companies and industry decision-makers, Pressdia works with businesses and organisations to communicate their developments through established media platforms.
Through press release writing, media publication and distribution services, Pressdia helps entrepreneurs and companies share important announcements with audiences beyond their immediate business networks.
Its distribution network covers more than 250 African media outlets, with additional international publication opportunities available.
The partnership places Pressdia alongside an event that brings together businesses working on technology solutions, investment opportunities and infrastructure development across African markets.
For startups introducing new products, companies announcing expansion plans and organisations developing digital services, media visibility remains an important part of communicating progress to customers, investors and potential business partners.
The collaboration also reflects the role of professional communication in helping African businesses establish stronger connections within the continent’s growing technology industry.
Africa Tech Festival 2026 to Welcome More Than 13,500 Technology Professionals
Africa Tech Festival 2026 will bring together technology leaders and business executives for three days of industry discussions, exhibitions and networking opportunities in Cape Town.
According to the organisers, the 2025 edition attracted 12,998 in-person attendees, representing more than 6,000 companies from over 100 countries. The gathering featured discussions on artificial intelligence, telecommunications infrastructure, digital investment and emerging business opportunities.
The 2026 edition is expected to build on that participation, with more than 13,500 attendees anticipated across the event’s activities.
The festival’s programme brings together established industry platforms, including AfricaCom and AfricaTech, creating opportunities for participants to examine developments across telecommunications, enterprise technology and Africa’s digital economy.
AfricaCom focuses on connectivity and telecommunications infrastructure, while AfricaTech explores enterprise technology, digital transformation and emerging solutions for businesses.
The programme will also feature exhibitions where technology companies can demonstrate products, introduce new services and engage with potential customers.
Beyond the exhibition floor, participants will have opportunities to meet investors, policymakers and business executives involved in technology development across African markets.
Pressdia Partnership Highlights Opportunities at Africa Tech Festival 2026
The Pressdia Partnership comes as African technology businesses continue to expand their operations and seek opportunities to communicate their achievements to wider audiences.
At Africa Tech Festival 2026, participants will explore how emerging technologies are changing business operations, investment decisions and access to digital services.
Artificial intelligence will form a major part of the discussions, with attention on its application across industries and the infrastructure needed to support adoption.
The programme will also examine cybersecurity as organisations work to strengthen digital security and protect business operations.
Data centres and cloud computing will feature in conversations about the infrastructure required to support digital services, while telecommunications discussions will focus on expanding connectivity and improving access across African markets.
These subjects are closely connected to the challenges facing businesses seeking to introduce technology solutions, reach new customers and operate across different countries.
For entrepreneurs and startups, the gathering provides opportunities to engage with investors and established technology companies while learning about developments that could influence their business strategies.
The Pressdia Partnership places the media platform within these wider conversations about business growth, innovation and professional communication.
Africa Tech Festival 2026 Brings Industry Leaders and Policymakers Together
A major feature of Africa Tech Festival 2026 is its ability to connect government representatives with executives responsible for developing technology services and infrastructure across the continent.
The announced speaker lineup includes Solly Malatsi, South Africa’s Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, and Samuel Nartey George, Ghana’s Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations.
Other announced speakers include Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa, Chief Executive Officer of Naspers South Africa, and Hardy Pemhiwa, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Cassava Technologies.
Their participation reflects the festival’s focus on discussions involving technology policy, infrastructure investment and the development of Africa’s digital economy.
Government representatives and private sector leaders are expected to examine the opportunities and challenges associated with expanding digital connectivity, supporting innovation and improving access to technology services.
These discussions are important for businesses operating in markets where infrastructure development, regulatory decisions and investment opportunities influence growth.
The festival will also provide opportunities for international technology companies to engage with African businesses and explore potential partnerships across different markets.
