What’s shaping Africa’s startup ecosystems today? A conversation ahead of GITEX Africa
Station F - Paris 
Mercredi 1er avril 2026 à 18h30.
Africa’s startup ecosystems are evolving fast, but not always where we expect them to. Beyond funding headlines and unicorn narratives, new signals are reshaping how entrepreneurship actually happens across the continent:
- How talent is trained, retained, and mobilised across borders,
- How finance is structured, accessed, and reimagined,
- How platforms, digital, institutional, and community-driven, are redefining scale, access, and opportunities.
This panel brings together founders and ecosystem practitioners whose work reflects these dynamics in practice. Rather than predictions, this conversation focuses on weak signals, lived realities, and emerging patterns, from Paris to African innovation hubs.
