Welcome to Conext 2025.
Developing the Way to a Connected Digital Economy
A PIVOTAL MOMENT FOR AFRICA’S DIGITAL FUTURE
Digital transformation is reshaping Africa—and investment in digital infrastructure is at the heart of this shift. From high-speed fibre to towers, data centres, cloud platforms and submarine cables, the future depends on secure, scalable networks.
The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT), in partnership with Digital Council Africa (DCA), presents Conext 2025—a high- level summit bringing together government, industry, and investors to explore opportunities for impactful investment and inclusive digital growth.
Together, we will examine what it takes to scale, secure, and sustain the digital ecosystems of tomorrow.
ENABLING DIGITAL INCLUSION
As the national department leading South Africa’s digital transformation, the DCDT plays a vital role in shaping policy, driving infrastructure development, and expanding access to digital services. Its commitment to Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies is helping build an inclusive digital society and enabling sustainable economic growth.
CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF CONNECTION
2025 also marks the 15th anniversary of DCA, recognising its role in connecting industry and government, shaping digital policy, and expanding access to connectivity across the continent.
Conext 2025 is more than a conference—it is a gathering of changemakers ready to shape the next decade of Africa’s digital transformation.
