With the youth and tech-savvy population that we have, the continent has the potential to become a hub for innovation and digital transformation, thus fostering collaboration and partnership at a global scale. So as we stand today, we are at the cusp of a transformative era. For Africa, we have to seize it. This is an opportunity that will benefit all Africans. So together, let's come and build a prosperous and inclusive future where innovation knows no bounds.
