The townhall, which is themed Emerging Tech: Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain, is the sixth in TechCabal's townhall series since the first one on fintech was held two years ago.

Emerging Tech: AI & Blockchain townhall will convene entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers and corporates across Africa to examine how businesses, individuals and African countries can maximize emerging technologies, specifically artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.

Artificial intelligence and blockchain are changing how Africans live, work, learn, play, and do business. For instance, across the continent, banks have launched chat banking services using artificially-intelligent chatbots. Also, across sectors such as agriculture and e-commerce, African entrepreneurs are building AI-driven solutions.

The use cases for blockchain in Africa has been on the increase. Organisations such as Binance Labs and Blockchain Nigeria User Group are investing in and helping stakeholders in the blockchain sector.

We have begun to see a rise of use cases across industries for Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain. For blockchain, it is gaining traction in the financial services sector especially for cross-border payments. However, what we found is that organizations and policymakers still have many questions about these technologies. Our objective with this event is to completely demystify AI and Blockchain for businesses and policymakers.
