We would like students to help us with creating content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. Most of the content will be come from our recent Afri Future Tech Summit.


The Afri Future Tech Summit is a unique platform that brings together Canadian and African tech ecosystems for mutual benefit. This year our event drew 178 attendees and advanced important discussions in the Canada-Africa tech space.


We're an organization that is focused on bringing together diverse stakeholders for equitable exchange; we’re building shared value between Canadian and African stakeholders to achieve a more just and sustainable future.


If you're passionate about exploring the exciting and impactful opportunities between Africa and Canada, then this is for you!
