AfricArena is an African tech accelerator that specializes in running Corporate Open Innovation challenges across the continent. With a focus on fostering the African tech environment, they organize a range of physical events that connect entrepreneurs, investors, and corporates. AfricArena operates in three key spheres: tech startups, corporations, and investors, including angel investors, VCs, and other institutional investors.

Through their open innovation challenges, which are carried out in collaboration with corporations, AfricArena brings together these spheres to encourage co-investment and collaboration, ultimately driving the economies and progress of the continent. One of their upcoming events is the two-day AfricArena Nairobi Summit in September 2023, which will take place in Nairobi, Kenya's leading startup city. This summit presents a unique opportunity to network with top minds in tech, business, investment, finance, and venture capital in the East African startup and tech ecosystem.

AfricArena also recently held the Grand Summit 2022 in Cape Town, South Africa, where they showcased insights, introduced the AfricArise 2023 program, and launched their Open Innovation Programs. They are actively seeking innovative startups across Africa to join their 10 Open Innovation Challenges. Additionally, AfricArise, their virtual Pan African startup investor network platform, aims to connect startups with investors on an annual basis.

With AfricArena, startups have the opportunity to rise, raise, and scale in the African tech landscape
