Africa Startup Festival Kenya 2026

Widely regarded as one of Africa’s leading deal-making and networking gatherings, ASF sits at the intersection of capital, startups and culture, bringing together investors, founders, builders and operators into one room to see where emerging technology and bold new ideas are taking the continent’s industries next — setting up the partnerships and deals that carry into the year ahead.

If you’re building, investing, scaling, or just stubbornly solving big problems in Africa’s startup scene, welcome home.

The Africa Startup Festival is where global investors, founders, innovators, and serious ecosystem players (18+ only, sorry kids) come to make real connections and get actual things done. No fluff. No time-wasters. Just energy, ideas, and opportunities flying around the room.
