The Mastercard Foundation, through its Centre for Innovative Teaching and Learning, is hosting its inaugural EdTech Conference from July 8-10, 2024. This biennial event, held in partnership with the Federal Government, will take place at the Hilton Transcorp in Abuja.

Aligned with the African Union’s Year of Education, the 2024 Mastercard Foundation EdTech Conference is themed “Education Technology for Resilient and Inclusive Learning in Africa.”

“Technology is a powerful enabler of possibility and progress,” said Reeta Roy, President and CEO of the Mastercard Foundation. “Across Africa, young innovators and entrepreneurs are infusing the education sector with new energy and ideas. Some of these innovations have the potential to transform ecosystems and shape the future for many.”

The conference will focus on the current state of the EdTech ecosystem, emerging trends, the role of EdTech in addressing Africa’s educational challenges, and the policies needed to create an environment conducive to technology-enabled educational innovation.
