Africa’s young innovators and entrepreneurs are poised to shape the continent’s digital future, and a new partnership aims to unlock that potential. Smart Africa and YouthConnekt Africa have joined forces to strengthen collaboration, mentorship, and innovation among Africa’s youth.

The partnership, formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding signed at the Transform Africa Summit 2025, leverages youth-driven platforms such as the Smart Africa Youth Chapters and YouthConnekt Country Chapters. By connecting these networks, the two institutions plan to co-organize programs during flagship events including the Transform Africa Summit and the YouthConnekt Africa Summit.

Through this collaboration, Smart Africa and YouthConnekt Africa aim to enhance youth entrepreneurship, foster skills development, and expand inclusive participation in the digital economy across Africa. The initiative underscores the importance of supporting young talent as a cornerstone of Africa’s technological and economic advancement.
