Africa’s Tech Growth: The Role of QA and Women Leaders

Abiola Rasaq

16:15 - 17:15 CEST Thursday 5th June

Africa’s tech industry is growing at a remarkable pace, driven by innovation, resilience, and the efforts of a vibrant community of professionals. At the heart of this growth is Quality Assurance (QA), ensuring that tech solutions developed across the continent are not only robust and user-friendly but also meet global standards.

As technology advances, QA has taken on a more prominent role, gaining attention and demand as a critical factor in Africa’s ability to compete on the world stage.

What’s even more exciting is the rise of women in QA, stepping into leadership roles and inspiring the next generation to embrace this essential field. Their contributions are breaking barriers, driving change, and making the tech space more inclusive.

In this session, we’ll discuss how QA goes beyond just technical checks, it’s a mindset that prioritizes excellence and innovation.

We’ll dive into real-life examples of how QA is shaping Africa’s tech landscape, the challenges it faces, and the opportunities it creates for professionals and businesses.
We’ll also highlight the unique ways women in QA are redefining leadership, championing diversity, and contributing to the sustainable growth of the industry.

This is more than just a talk about tech; it’s a conversation about quality, inclusivity, and the future of innovation in Africa.
