African Startup Conference

The African Startup Conference (ASC) will hold its fifth edition from December 5th to 7th, 2026, at the prestigious Abdelatif Rahal International Conference Center (CIC) in Algiers, embodying the continent's determination to build a future led by its youth, rooted in creativity, technological sovereignty, and sustainable development.
Since its first edition, held in December 2022, the African Startup Conference has brought together governments, policymakers, investors, startups, incubators, the African diaspora, and other stakeholders to coordinate efforts and design a robust, inclusive, and interconnected startup ecosystem.
This new edition, held under the theme "Deeptech: The Real Challenge" will aim to strengthen continental cooperation, foster the adoption of common legislation based on participants' recommendations, and boost financing (particularly in Deep Tech and through discussions with the World Bank).
