With mobile technologies expected to continue playing a central role in Africa\u2019s socio-economic life, Max Cuvellier, head of Mobile for Development (M4D) at GSMA, told Mobile World Live<\/em> (MWL<\/em>) that fintech and health technology will be key topics at MWC Kigali 2023, taking place in the Kigali Convention Centre, Rwanda, from 17 October to 19 October. <\/p>\n Health is wealth <\/strong> This year\u2019s congress will highlight the integration of new technologies to provide solutions to African citizens, added Cuvellier, who named the continent as a place with the highest concentration of impactful deployments of digital tech. <\/p>\n Sessions around this topic will be hosted by the Africa HealthTech Summit, which brings together Africa CDC, a public health agency of the African Union, and Smart Africa, a joint governmental initiative aimed at encouraging ICT investments. <\/p>\n With diversity and inclusion being an anchor of sorts for MWC Kigali 2023, the Africa HealthTech Summit will feature discussions from female leaders who are breaking barriers to shape the future of Africa\u2019s digital health ecosystem and other industry experts who will be addressing investment gaps within the health sector. <\/p>\n Home to 760 million mobile money users, discussions around digital economy and fintech are expected to dominate the congress: \u201cHalf of the world\u2019s mobile money users are located in Africa, and two-thirds of the value of mobile money transactions globally are happening in Africa,\u201d Cuvellier said. <\/p>\n However, he also pointed out the shift to a digital financial landscape comes with its own challenges, stating it\u2019s \u201can environment that is becoming more complex\u201d. <\/p>\n Indeed, a 2021 study found half of m-Pesa adopters had fallen victim to fraud. So, \u201cit\u2019s really crucial to maintain the momentum and also have the hard conversation\u201d, he added. <\/p>\n Angela Wamola, head of Sub-Saharan Africa at GSMA, told MWL<\/em> collaborative efforts between private and public sectors are crucial in educating customers about the risks of digital technology and pushing forward \u201cstringent regulatory frameworks\u201d. <\/p>\n This is fundamental at a time when Africa\u2019s \u201cdigital economy is facing new disruptions as it grows\u201d, said Wamola. <\/p>\n Start-up revolution <\/strong> Under the theme of Accelerate Africa, the event is expected to dive into how emerging technology start-ups are reshaping the continent\u2019s entrepreneurial sector, with Cuvellier referring to Africa 118, an Ethiopian company which connects over 10,000 African SMEs to the internet and helps them grow their online presence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Its CEO, Ezana Raswork, will feature as a panellist to explore the impact of technology on small businesses. Cuvellier also highlighted Freetown Waste Transformer, a female-led company based in Sierra Leone\u2019s capital that converts organic waste into clean energy. <\/p>\n \u201cWe do a lot of work with start-ups, and I think they’ve really emerged in the past five years\u201d, creating \u201csolutions that are not only taking businesses but also society to the next level\u201d. <\/p>\n Devices accessibility\u00a0<\/strong> Out of the 85 per cent covered by the internet, there are more people who are not using the internet than those using it, Cuvellier said. This is due to a lack of access to affordable handsets and broadband, which have been key barriers in Africa\u2019s digitalisation journey.<\/p>\n \u201cAfrica is a mobile-first continent. Owning an internet-enabled phone is a big step on the path to being fully integrated in the society and the economy, and it touches every aspect of Africans’ personal and professional life,\u201d Cuvellier said. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Wamola emphasised that the upcoming event will showcase programmes and policy developments aimed at narrowing the digital divide, including subsidising devices and data plans for marginalised communities and rural areas. <\/p>\n At the event\u2019s Policy Leader Forum, Wamola will be speaking alongside Rwanda\u2019s Minister of ICT and Innovation Paula Ingabire, Zambia\u2019s Minister of Technology and Science Felix Mutati and other experts to explore what is needed to make digital inclusion a reality. <\/p>\n \u201cUltimately, achieving equal access and knowledge in emerging technologies requires collaboration, adaptability, and sustained efforts from various stakeholders. MWC Kigali is a fantastic opportunity to bring these stakeholders together, fostering dialogue and action plans that can drive forward the mission of digital inclusion,\u201d Wamola said.\u00a0<\/p>\n Live stream<\/strong> The post Preview: Accelerating digital Africa at MWC Kigali 2023<\/a> appeared first on Mobile World Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n \u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!

\u201cWe usually think about how to leverage technology to provide people with a healthy and dignified life. One is obviously health. Health is wealth, generally speaking, but in the past health tech has probably not been given the visibility it deserves. So, it’s great to have it as a key theme this year\u201d, Cuvellier said. <\/p>\n
MWC Kigali 2023 also aims to bring attention to how innovations in Africa have extended far beyond mobile apps, thanks to a ripe start-up ecosystem which in 2022 raised more than $3 billion worth of funding. <\/p>\n
Sub-Saharan Africa has made great strides in making mobile innovation an enabler of change. Today, 85 per cent of the region is covered by mobile networks, but the remaining 15 per cent, which accounts for about 200 million people, remains unconnected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
