Au-delà des gros titres. Au cœur de l'histoire de l'innovation africaine.

Qui construit les technologies qui façonnent les marchés africains ? Quelles politiques détermineront la prochaine phase de la transformation numérique ? Où sont les partenariats qui transforment les idées innovantes en entreprises viables ?

Ce sont là quelques-unes des questions qui façonnent l'écosystème de l'innovation en Afrique.

Du 18 au 20 novembre 2026, la Rencontre Annuelle d’AfriLabs réunira à Cotonou, au Bénin, des innovateurs, des décideurs politiques, des investisseurs, des entrepreneurs et des leaders de l'écosystème venus de toute l'Afrique et d'ailleurs.

Pendant trois jours, les échanges exploreront les personnes, les institutions et les décisions qui influencent l'avenir de l'innovation sur le continent.

Car derrière chaque grand changement dans un écosystème se cachent des histoires qui méritent d'être comprises, examinées et racontées.

📍 Sofitel Cotonou Marina Hotel and Spa, Bénin
📅 18-20 novembre 2026
