“It is a great honour for His Excellency Paul Kagame to open MWC Kigali 2023; his participation is a mark of how Africa’s digital transformation journey is gaining momentum and empowering communities, government and businesses. As 4G moves forward and 5G emerges, frontier technologies offer huge potential and fintech continues to connect millions within the formal economy for the first time. I am looking forward to three days of debate and inspiration with international industry leaders and high-level African policymakers,”

said GSMA’s Director General, Mats Granryd.

MWC Kigali, the African continent’s largest and most influential connectivity event is taking place on the 17 – 19 October. The event convenes powerful innovators and political leaders from all sub-regions of the continent to create a better future for all.
