Africa’s voice in the global technology conversation grew louder this year as aiNova Africa, a trailblazer in artificial intelligence and digital transformation, was invited by the UK’s Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to participate in London Tech Week 2025. The event, celebrated as one of the world’s most influential gatherings of tech leaders and innovators, offered the perfect stage for Africa’s ambitions in the AI era.
The recognition of aiNova Africa is more than an honor. It signals a growing respect for the continent’s capacity to shape the future of technology and not just consume it.
Africa on the Global Stage
Representing the company in London was Damilare Fakorede, Managing Partner and CEO of aiNova Africa. He joined an elite group of global tech leaders, policymakers, and investors to discuss issues shaping the digital economy—from the ethical use of AI to the next frontier of innovation.
“London Tech Week was a chance to make sure Africa’s perspective was heard,” Fakorede said. “The conversations we held revealed the enormous potential for African-led solutions to guide the world toward inclusive and responsible technology adoption.”
Strategic Engagements Beyond the Main Event
While the conference itself was the centerpiece, aiNova Africa also leaned into side events that created room for deeper dialogue and partnerships.
One such platform was F2F Sandbox – UK Africa Ecosystem Day [Ventures 54 x London Africa], which gathered UK players and African entrepreneurs for knowledge sharing and collaboration.
Another was the DBT Scale-Up Event – Innovate & Elevate, an interactive program focused on how international businesses can expand successfully in the UK. Delegates gained practical insights from founders who had scaled globally and from ecosystem experts who support such growth.
These sessions were more than networking—they became bridges, opening new possibilities for African innovators to collaborate with international partners.
Leading Africa’s AI Transformation
Back on the continent, aiNova Africa continues to be at the forefront of AI adoption, shaping strategies for industries ranging from finance and telecommunications to education and governance. The company’s work spans advisory services, digital policy frameworks, and training programs that prepare leaders for the realities of a tech-driven world.

According to Fakorede, London Tech Week was not simply a highlight but a reaffirmation of the company’s mission. “Our goal has always been to see Africa contribute meaningfully to global innovation, not just adapt to it. This experience strengthened that commitment.”
Looking Ahead
With its presence at LTW25, aiNova Africa has further established itself as a connector between Africa’s innovation ecosystem and the wider world. The outcomes—new partnerships, investor interest, and collaborative opportunities—are set to accelerate digital projects that will transform Africa’s future.
London Tech Week 2025 was not just about showcasing technology. For aiNova Africa, it was about proving that Africa belongs at the table where the world’s digital future is being designed.
