About this event

Africa is not waiting for perfect systems. It is being built by creators, technologists, founders, and cultural leaders who are designing the future in real time. The Creative + Tech Summit 2026 brings together Africa’s most forward-thinking creatives, technologists, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem builders for one powerful day of conversation, collaboration, and action. This year’s theme “Build Without Permission” explores how African innovators are creating systems, platforms, and opportunities in environments where infrastructure, policy, and capital often lag behind ambition. From fintech to fashion, from storytelling to software, from education to culture this summit is about ownership, resilience, and building what does not yet exist.
