Digital Infrastructure Investment Summit
The Forum, The Campus, Bryanston | 3-4 September 2025
Digital transformation is accelerating across the continent—and at the centre of this change is the infrastructure that powers it. From high-speed fibre and towers to next-generation data centres and cloud platforms, Africa’s digital economy depends on smart, scalable investment in critical infrastructure.
In this context, the Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT), in partnership with Digital Council Africa (DCA), is proud to present Conext 2025—a landmark summit designed to drive collaboration, unlock investment, and shape the continent’s digital trajectory.
Conext 2025 is the annual digital infrastructure investment conference bringing together policymakers, investors, service providers, and industry leaders for two days of high-level engagement, insight, and opportunity.
With the theme “Developing the Way to a Connected Digital Economy”, the summit will explore the building blocks of Africa’s digital infrastructure—from terrestrial fibre and tower networks to submarine cable systems, data centres, and cloud platforms.

Dear Colleagues,
The Digital Council Africa’s primary goal has always been to empower the sector by providing a platform for continuous learning, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving on matters that affect our industry.
As we navigate a world where every aspect of our lives is touched by digital innovation, the potential of the digital economy to drive economic growth, create employment, and foster innovation is more critical than ever. The digital economy has disrupted and transformed every sector, streamlining and improving ways of doing things, and its direct impact on a country’s economic growth cannot be underestimated. This is why the digital economy should be at the core of political priorities at all levels of government: international, national, regional, and local.
With that in mind, we are excited to announce the expanded Conext 2025—now a two-day event that promises to be more impactful and insightful than ever before, in a setting where we’ve removed the frills to focus on what really matters.
Conext 2025 will deliver invaluable insights into the sector’s current landscape and unveil the ambitious roadmaps ahead.
We invite you to join us in Johannesburg for an unforgettable experience at Conext 2025!
We look forward to seeing you there.
