The 2025 BigFive Summit, Part 1

Did you miss "Africa's Leading B2B Tech Conference"? We got you. Catch what you missed 5-7 May 2025 at Innovation City Cape Town

Jul 02, 2025

In May, a group of builders, investors, innovators, and thought leaders gathered at Innovation City Cape Town for two days of in-depth discussions about the future of tech-driven businesses in Africa.

If you missed the 2025 BigFive Summit, or if you were there and missed some of the sessions, we are recreating the event session-by-session on YouTube.

This post shares an intial selection of sessions from the Summit. We will share the remainder next week. We have also created a playlist on YouTube dedicated to the 2025 BigFive Summit.

Several of the Summit sessions have been repurposed as episodes of the BIG5D Podcast (with more to come).

Again, we want to thank the companies that supported the 2025 BigFive Summit.
