Fund Africa Inc. is a Social Enterprise that promotes Entrepreneurship through Technology and Research (Fund Africa-Raising Grounds).

The Fund Africa’s annual Electronics and IT Showcase Event is aimed at bridging the gap between technologists with end users and also acts as a platform for showcasing new innovations that apply for the case of Africa.

The event seeks to build a network of technology users in Africa, in order to cut the barriers of typical traditional working processes that sometime tend to be tasking, costly and time consuming. The key objective is to enable technology usage to all even those that may simply know how to use a basic mobile phone in Africa which may eventually lead to development.
