Meet 21 of Africa’s game-changing Tech and Digital women entrepreneurs

This February at Lionesses of Africa, we shine a spotlight on Africa’s pioneering women tech and digital entrepreneurs who are making a real impact, through their businesses, their innovation, their products and services, and their passion for what they do. These truly innovative women pioneers are building unique, high impact businesses and shaking up the pan-African and global tech world at the same time through their efforts. 

If you look at the fast-paced and ever-changing world of technology, IT solutions, innovative new app development, and e-commerce in Africa, you will see a number of businesses and brand names making some considerable noise in the sector - and, many of them have been created by an exciting new breed of women entrepreneurs on the African continent. So, all this month at Lionesses of Africa, we are featuring and paying tribute to some of these amazing African Women in Tech and Digital who have inspired us this year, and who are each making such a difference to the technology entrepreneurial landscape for women in Africa. These women know that it’s not simply about creating the next African Silicon Valley - this is not the ONLY answer; or the only way. They see that the way forward is by marrying Africa’s cutting edge technology and digital innovation in a way that can also bring high impact solutions to many of the problems and challenges facing the future growth and development of the African continent. 

Meet some of the pioneering women tech and digital entrepreneurs who are leading this charge in Africa.
