NAIROBI – The East Africa Com Awards return in 2021 as a virtual ceremony. Taking place during the virtual East Africa Com event (May 11 – 12, 2021), attendees will be invited to celebrate the people and companies driving digital inclusion, connectivity and innovations in East Africa.
"In 2020, we saw great challenges brought upon by the pandemic, but the response from the industry has been phenomenal. We've seen excellent collaboration in the telco and technology space across East Africa," said James Williams, portfolio manager for East Africa Com at Informa Tech.
"This year's East Africa Com Awards will therefore represent some of the best innovations and leadership in East African technology and we're delighted to be able to host the Awards as part of the virtual event this May."
