welcome note: RALF FLETCHER
CEO: Topco Media
Esteemed Innovators and Tech Leaders, Welcome to Sentech Africa Tech Week 2025, a pivotal gathering that shines a powerful spotlight on South Africa’s growing stature as a technology powerhouse on the continent.
As CEO of Topco Media, I am honoured to welcome you to a space where visionaries, disruptors, policymakers, and pioneers converge not just to share ideas, but to shape the digital destiny of South Africa and beyond. Our focus is clear: to accelerate South Africa’s role as a leader in African tech innovation. From fintech to AI, green tech to digital infrastructure, South African ingenuity is forging bold solutions to complex challenges and it’s being noticed on the global stage.
At Topco Media, we’ve championed innovation for over two decades, believing in the power of platforms like Africa Tech Week to elevate local talent, amplify impact, and ignite new opportunities. Partnering with Sentech for the fourth year, we are proud to create an environment where the brightest minds can collaborate to fast-track South Africa’s digital transformation.
The road ahead requires more than innovation it demands unity, urgency, and bold leadership. South Africa has all the ingredients to lead the next wave of tech growth on the continent: a dynamic youth population, a culture of resilience, and a hunger for progress. What’s needed now is connection between people, ideas, industries, and ecosystems.
Sentech Africa Tech Week 2025 is more than a conference. It is a call to action. A chance to build, learn, invest, and rise together.
Let us seize this moment to chart a bold course forward for South African tech. Let us collaborate, innovate, and create solutions that will echo across generations. Thank you for joining us. I hope you enjoy the conference and make new connections.
Ralf Fletcher CEO, Topco Media

CEO: Sentech
Sentech Africa Tech Week 2025, a dynamic platform where innovation ignites progress, and ideas evolve into lasting impact.
This moment is far more than a date on the calendar, it reflects who we are becoming as a continent. Across the region, we are witnessing the rise of a digitally enabled Africa, driven by the energy of young talent, the resilience of entrepreneurs, and the vision of leaders committed to long-term impact. We are not waiting for transformation, we are driving it.
At SENTECH, we are proud to stand at the forefront of this transformation. Our mission goes beyond technology as infrastructure, we see it as a powerful equaliser, a catalyst for inclusive growth and smarter communities. As we extend connectivity across South Africa and the continent, we are laying the foundations for a future where education, opportunity, and progress are accessible to all.
But access alone is not enough. True transformation requires meaningful participation. It means equipping people with digital skills, supporting SMMEs, and nurturing local innovation that thrives in both urban centres and remote communities. It means fostering ecosystems of opportunity, not just laying cables but building futures.
Our commitment to universal connectivity for digital inclusion is directly aligned with Africa’s Agenda 2063 – The Africa We Want: a continnt that is integrated, innovative, and interconnected. We believe the path to this vision lies in collaboration, with government, industry, academia, civil society, and entrepreneurs. Only together can we harness
the full power of technology to bridge the digital divide, grow smart cities, and create jobs for the next generation. Africa Tech Week is not just an event. It is a space to challenge the status quo, deepen partnerships, and ignite sustainable progress. It is a time to imagine boldly, act purposefully, and lead with vision.
As we look ahead, let’s embrace the responsibility to shape a digital landscape that uplifts, includes, and empowers. The future belongs to those who innovate, collaborate, and lead with purpose, and Africa is ready.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s power Africa’s digital revolution.
