From October 25 to November 5, Senegalese innovators will embark on a Learning Expedition to Montreal. This trip promises to expose local talent to international best practices and foster collaboration.
October also sees the return of SIPEN by OPTIC, a flagship event of Senegal's digital economy, on the 16-17th. This event will showcase the nation's digital prowess and attract investment.
The quarter closes with the Senegal Algorithms, Technology, and Innovation Fair (SALTIS) on November 25-26, followed by the NEXTEN Summit 2025 from December 3-5. The NEXTEN Summit aims to transform Africa's economy and technology sectors through AI and blockchain.
