Africa–UK Innovation Bridge 2026
Join HoaQ, Wimbart, POV and partners across the Africa–UK innovation corridor for a special convening in London on Friday, June 5th, 2026, during London Tech Week. This is a key moment when the global tech ecosystem meets in Europe. Africa–UK Innovation Bridge 2026 is a gathering that brings together strategic players across the African and Diaspora tech ecosystems, including founders, investors, operators, corporate venture teams, ecosystem builders, and policy stakeholders shaping the future of cross-border collaboration.
Across the afternoon, we'll move through a curated programme of panels, fireside chats, and working sessions built around the themes defining the next era: capital and investment, market access and expansion, talent and operators, ecosystem and community, and media and positioning.
This convening is hosted in partnership with Wimbart, POV, UK Tech Hub, and Kenya Tech Hub, in celebration of the founders, investors and stakeholders building bold solutions across the continent and beyond.
If you'll be in town for London Tech Week or simply want to plug into the community, come through. This is an opportunity to connect with members of Africa's global tech ecosystem, share stories, build relationships, and explore collaboration across borders.
