TechGulf has begun a two-day digital conference with a call on the African Continent to focus on digitizing its economic development modules as a credible way to achieve inclusive economic growth.
The conference which ends today, April 21, 2022, is on the theme, “Digitizing Africa’s Economy: The case for blockchain and digital assets.”
In a remark, the Chief Executive officer of the Company, Franklin Asare indicated that although the digital economy is developing widely worldwide, only a few businesses and governments in Africa are leveraging the opportunities digitization presents.
He stressed that the key indicator of the future growth of businesses and nations is the manner in which they respectively adopt digital technologies.
“How businesses and nations adopt digital terminologies will be a determinant to their future growth and that’s why this year, we are looking at digitizing Africa’s economy the case for blockchain and digital assets.” He said.
Mr. Franklin Asare further noted that the many gaps in the promotion of digitization on the African continent have necessitated the forum to explore the digital economy ecosystem of Africa.
