Panel Discussion | Women in Innovation and Technology

Discussion Topic: "In a highly male-dominated Africa's tech scene more interesting stories are developing with more young successful female techpreneurs flexing muscles with their male counterparts. These women create and innovate, exploiting ideas, products, and services to produce dynamic businesses. How do we encourage more of these stories? Can we bridge the gender gap in Africa's tech scene? What needs to be done?

Panelist: Esther Lugoe Mengi Founder, Sensics; Vanessa Kisowile Team Lead, Sahara Sparks; Maryam Mgonja Associate, SeedStar; Tanja Tuominen, UNWomen
