Digital Africa announces awards to honour 100 biggest tech companies 

Digital Africa Global Consult (DAGC) Limited has announced awards to honour the 100 biggest tech companies on the continent.

Evans Woherem, chairman of Digital Africa, said the awards are an initiative to further engage more tech stakeholders on the continent.

The awardees were announced on Wednesday at the virtual unveiling of the company’s hybrid monthly magazine.

“Now that Digital Africa has established its roots very firmly in Nigeria, we have started to put our attention on engaging more and more tech stakeholders from the rest of Africa to join us in Abuja annually for the show,” Woherem said.

“This is what informed the new pre-event initiative, Digital Africa 100 Awards.”

Frederick Apeji, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the 2025 Digital Africa conference and exhibition, said the awards will honour the 100 biggest tech companies in each of the five regions of Africa.

He said the awards are expected to foster collaboration among leading tech and tech-related companies on the continent.

“The annual pre-event Digital Africa 100 Awards program seeks to recognise, honour and celebrate the 100 biggest tech companies in each of the five regions of Africa,” he said.

“Altogether, we will be beaming our searchlight on 500 top tech companies across the continent, from Egypt to South Africa, from Senegal to Tanzania, from Ghana to Angola, and from Nigeria to DR Congo.

“We envision a greater collaboration amongst these leading tech and tech-related companies amongst themselves, first within each of these five regions and then within Africa as a whole.

“The pre-event continental roadshow to present these awards will take our team to Accra, Ghana (representing West Africa); Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (representing East Africa); Cairo, Egypt (North Africa); Johannesburg, South Africa (Southern Africa); and Kinshasa, DR Congo (Central Africa).

“Abuja will continue to serve as the permanent host city (PHC) of Digital Africa. We have now designated these additional cities as important and strategic hubs to effectively forge valuable and lasting relationships across the African tech ecosystem.”
