London Stock Exchange welcomes Digital Collective Africa, Africa’s Tech Ecosystem Collaboration Platform

Posted: 19 May 2025

Today, the London Stock Exchange welcomed Digital Collective Africa, Africa’s Tech ecosystem collaboration platform to participate in the market open ceremony, coinciding with AfricArena’s second edition of its one-day AfricArena London Summit that is designed to showcase a carefully curated lineup of Africa’s top tech startups to interested investors. 

Launched in 2019, the Digital Collective Africa is a pan-African initiative that connects investors, incubators, and founders to one another through knowledge, collaboration, and action through informal participant-driven sessions at its flagship VC Unconferences aimed at easing and enhancing the process of investing on the African continent.

Ashim Egunjobi, Managing Partner at Octerra Capita and Digital Collective Africa Council Member said,
“I am proud to witness this milestone moment at the London Stock Exchange. The DCA has been instrumental in deepening collaboration across Africa’s tech and investment landscape, and Octerra is honoured to have supported its mission through the years. Today’s recognition reflects the power of African innovation and the collective effort to elevate our ecosystem on a global stage.”
