Thursday, October 29th
Island Farm, Kenya

Welcome

If you’re building, investing, scaling, or just stubbornly solving big problems in Africa’s startup scene, welcome home.

The Africa Startup Festival is where global investors, founders, innovators, and serious ecosystem players (18+ only, sorry kids) come to make real connections and get actual things done. No fluff. No time-wasters. Just energy, ideas, and opportunities flying around the room.

Getting in? Not automatic. Registration is curated for participants, media, and exhibitors. It keeps the room focused and the conversations worthwhile and we’ll be sticking to strict health and safety protocols.

Now, a few non-negotiables:

  • Tickets are non-refundable, even for no-shows.
  • You can transfer your ticket to someone else, but only until Midnight, October 28th, 2026 exclusively on the mobile app. After that, it’s locked in.
  • Before you buy, double-check what your ticket actually gives you access to. ASF will not be held liable if you make a mistake in your ticket choice.

See you at Island Farm, Kenya 🇰🇪. Bring your A-game.
