BIGTECH Africa 2026

BIGTECH Africa is a two-day tech, AI and investment summit in Tunis, run by TPM Events with the Tunisian Ministry of Communication Technologies as partner. It brings together startups, investors, corporates, public institutions and international experts around Africa's digital development, with a South-South focus on Africa, the Gulf, Asia and the diaspora.

Three programme pillars

The content is organised around three pillars, each aimed at a different type of participant, from public decision-makers to founders raising capital.

• Africa & International Cooperation: sovereign AI, GovTech, cybersecurity and African cloud
• Business & Technologies: use cases in banking, telecoms, energy, retail and public administration
• Investment & Startups: investor rooms, Deal Lounge and a Sovereign AI Hackathon

Formats and spaces

The event runs on seven spaces at the Cité de la Culture: four content stages and three business areas. B2B meetings are scheduled through the Eventoo platform, and startup-investor matching uses the NartaQ model (sector, stage, geography and funding needs).

• Main Stage, Sophia Stage, Carthago Room and Hannibal Room
• Exhibition Hall
• B2B Lounge (Eventoo)
• VIP, speaker and investor lounge
• Masterclasses, business roundtables and the BIGTECH Africa Night
