Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>Preparations are in top gear as leaders in digitization will be honoured at the 8th Africa Digital Economy Awards on 10th November 2023 at the Emara Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya. Following 7 successful editions in West Africa, ADEA moves to Kenya in its 8th edition to engender Pan-Africanism in digitalization.<\/p>\n

Themed, \u201cCelebrating Digital Excellence,\u201d ADEA in its 8th year will celebrate and honour Africa\u2019s digital champions, innovators, creativities, and inventions across multiple areas whose contributions have significantly impacted the digital growth and security of the African economy during the gala night.<\/p>\n

ADEA is in alignment with the digital transformation strategy for Africa prepared by the African Union (AU) to propel growth in Africa\u2019s Digital Economy during the launch of this year\u2019s awards.<\/p>\n

There is a need for Africa to recognize and applaud the pioneers and frontrunners in the continent\u2019s digitalization journey, all of whom play a pivotal role in advancing the digitization of every sector of our economies.<\/p>\n

\u201cInnovations and digitalization initiatives are not only fostering job creation but also contributing to the alleviation of poverty, the reduction of inequality, the enhancement of goods and services delivery, and the achievement of Agenda 2063 and the Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

\u201d Mr. Akin Naphtal, Group Publisher for Digital Economy magazine powering ADEA said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2016, the global digital economy was worth some $11.5 trillion, equivalent to 15.5 percent of the world\u2019s overall GDP. It is expected to reach 25 percent in less than a decade, quickly outpacing the growth of the overall economy\u201d.<\/p>\n

If governments and the private sector continue to build the right foundations, digitization could transform sectors as diverse as agriculture, retail, and healthcare \u2013 and contribute as much as $300 billion a year to Africa\u2019s GDP by 2025<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to continue our mission of promoting Pan-African digitalization through ADEA\u201d Mr. Naphtal added.<\/p>\n

Over the last eight years, ADEA has played a pivotal role in nurturing and promoting numerous digital leaders and organizations from across the continent.<\/p>\n

The immediate past edition held in Accra, Ghana in 2022 honoured digital leaders such as Huawei, PCCW Global\u2019s Console Connect, Cellulant, FiberOne, and IHS Towers among others.<\/p>\n

The gala night promises to be a night of entertainment, networking, and a platform for thought leaders will share insights and shape the future of the digital economy.<\/p>\n
