TEA 6.0 Virtual Conference 2026

Africa’s digital future will be shaped not only by how quickly technology advances, but by how effectively the continent builds trust, strengthens digital infrastructure and takes ownership of its data.

Under the theme “Data Sovereignty and Digital Trust: Africa’s Next Frontier,” the TEA 2026 Virtual Conference will bring together voices from across the technology ecosystem for focused conversations around some of the most important issues shaping Africa’s digital future.

The broader TEA agenda explores Data Sovereignty & Governance, Digital Identity & Trusted Infrastructure, Cybersecurity, Privacy & Digital Trust, AI & Responsible Data Use, and Africa’s Digital Infrastructure & Data Economy.

For the 2026 virtual conference, three of these thematic areas will take centre stage, creating room for deeper discussion, practical perspectives and meaningful exchange rather than trying to address every issue at once.

And the conversation does not end online.

TEA 2026 will serve as a foundation for the next chapter of the conversation at TEA 2027 in Kigali, Rwanda, where the remaining themes will continue to be explored as part of a broader dialogue about Africa’s digital development.

Whether you are a technology professional, policymaker, entrepreneur, innovator, researcher, investor or simply interested in Africa’s digital future, TEA 2026 is an opportunity to learn, exchange perspectives and be part of a conversation that continues beyond the conference.
