DEMO Africa is meant at offering a platform to entrepreneur’s to have time with potential technology investors and buyers. The host for the program will be The Gauteng Province and will be hosted from 23rd – 24th November 2017 at the Birchwood Hotel and Conventional Hotel in South Africa. This will be the second time South Africa is hosting the event. There will be thirty startups that will be provided with mentorship and tools worth R 3.3 million.
It was acknowledged that DEMO Africa is working harder in ensuring that the leading technology firms are brought to Africa. This helps in Africa getting the relevant information on technology and exposing it to the modern world.
DEMO Africa has been in a position to raise around 180 startup firms within five years which has helped in increasing above R700 million in investment and business relations.
