[DIGITAL Business Africa] \u2013 <\/strong>The first-ever Mobile World Congress to be held in Africa opens today, 25 October 2022, in Kigali, Rwanda. It is the MWC Africa 2022. The GSMA MWC Africa, the African branch of the GMSA, which is organising the event, will bring together a variety of ICT, telecoms and digital experts, business leaders and policymakers, and of course stakeholders in Africa’s mobile ecosystem, over three days.<\/p>\n

The aim of the meeting is to discuss how technology and shared value have the power to drive economic growth for people and businesses in Africa. MWC Africa 2022 will therefore host more than 120 expert speakers and over 60 hours of content. The content will include technological themes such as leadership for connectivity, Fintech and the concepts of “One People – One Purpose” and “Accelerate Africa”.<\/p>\n

In addition to President Paul Kagame, the speakers will include Sanda Ojiambo, Under-Secretary-General and Director General of the United Nations Global Compact, who will be joined by Smart Africa\u2019s CEO, Lacina Kone, and the ATU\u2019s Secretary General, John Omo.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpect to hear from thought leaders and experts who will share their insights on topics such as how to close the mobile usage gap and power digital transformation to drive economic growth and opportunities for all across our continent,\u201d said GSMA\u2019s Head of Sub-Saharan Africa, Angela Wamola.<\/p>\n

The\u00a02022 GSMA Africa Policy Leaders Forum\u00a0will bring together key stakeholders from ministries, regulatory bodies and the broader mobile ecosystem. Discussions will include how government policy across the region is aligning with technological developments as well as the policy developments needed to advance Africa to the digital economy.<\/p>\n

The GSMA would like to extend its thanks to the Rwandan Minister of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Ms Paula Ingabire and the Ministry of ICT for their support as hosts and facilitators of the event.<\/p>\n

Partner Programmes and Summits<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a05G Summit\u00a0will deep dive into commercial 5G services, with a particular focus on Africa, where the journey to 5G has begun, with stakeholders taking steps to accelerate the transition to 5G.<\/p>\n

FinTech, which is at the forefront of Africa\u2019s digital transformation, is pioneering the availability of financial services and supporting financial inclusion. The\u00a0FinTech Summit\u00a0will explore the latest innovations and emerging technologies which are set to shape Africa\u2019s financial services over the next decade.<\/p>\n

SVAI and Shift Impact Africa have partnered with the GSMA to bring together the sixth annual Africa Shared Value Leadership Summit (ASVL Summit) and MWC Africa. The\u00a0ASVL Summit\u2019s unifying theme \u2018One Africa, One Voice\u2019 underscores the need for organisations to work together across borders and industries to benefit all Africans. It shows how the economic benefits of creating shared value as a collective can be achieved by close collaboration between stakeholders and companies for social progress and business success.<\/p>\n

At the ASVL Summit, Assistant Secretary-General and CEO of the United Nations Global Compact, Ms Sanda Ojiambo will join the session, \u201cCreating Shared Value \u2013 Technology as an enabler to driver Africa\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smart Africa\u00a0has partnered with the GSMA to co-host key organ meetings during MWC Africa. Smart Africa\u2019s co-located meetings at MWC Africa include the Council of Ministers of ICT (CMICT), the Steering Committee and the first edition of the Forum of the Private Sector.<\/p>\n

The meetings are an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss regulation and policy frameworks and advance the digital transformation of the continent. Smart Africa actively encourages and supports private initiatives and investments in the technology and communications sectors via the Smart Africa Alliance platform.<\/p>\n

Large-Scale Impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

GSMA Mobile for Development (M4D) is uniquely positioned at the intersection of the mobile ecosystem and the development sector. Our work has impacted 126 million lives to date \u2013 and counting. We are excited to host our first dedicated \u201cDevelopment Theatre\u201d, where attendees can learn how M4D stimulates digital innovation to deliver sustainable business and large-scale socio-economic impact for the underserved.<\/p>\n
