Innovation Africa 2019 - Africa's Official Ministerial Summit 3 -5 December , Accra , Ghana

We are proud to announce the 9th Innovation Africa taking place in Ghana in 2019, under the official patronage of the Government of Ghana led by the Ministry of Education and co-hosted by the Ministry of Communications.

Innovation Africa 2019 is firmly established as the continent’s number one high level ministerial forum where industry partners enjoy pre-scheduled meetings and committed engagement with ministers and senior government officials from over 40 countries. It is Africa’s “must go to” event for education, innovation and ICT. Leading industry partners agree that Innovation Africa is the most productive and enjoyable experience of all events, which emphasises the quality of the audience and high level status of decision-making participants.

In 2019, the full force of the Government of Ghana, under cabinet endorsement, will be ensuring a record number of participating ministers from across the continent. As well as being co-hosted by both ministries of education and communications, the key education & ICT stakeholders from Ghana will play key roles in ensuring the delivery of a multilayered landmark summit.
