Under the support of the KAF, the startups run Korea-Africa Unicorn Booth and participate in Supernova Challenge to promote their technologies and products. The KAF also arranges business matching and networking between startups and global business.
Lee, director of the KAF said, “Despite the global slowdown in investment, funding for African startups hits a record. This means that global startup ecosystem players have eye on African continent and South Korea cannot leave this opportunity out. I believe GITEX Africa is the best tech exhibition to explore Africa.”
