The African startup ecosystem has shown remarkable resilience and innovation despite a slowdown in funding since 2022. According to Africa: The Big Deal, last month alone, startups across the continent raised $343 million, marking the second-best April on record since 2022. On the other hand, startups raised $803 million between January and April 2025, a 43 per cent increase from $563 million raised in the same period last year.

Economic uncertainties have created a volatile economic environment in the region, negatively impacting investment flows. However, investor confidence is returning, with over 225 unique investors participating in deals so far this year. If the trend continues, total funding is projected to surpass the 2024 figures.

“This is a critical time for African ventures,” said Andrew Fassnidge, Founder of Africa Tech Summit.

“The funding taps may have slowed, but the appetite for scalable, impactful African solutions hasn’t gone anywhere. We aim to connect ventures with global investors and capital markets at the London Stock Exchange next month. In a complex, shifting economic landscape, we need bold conversations, real opportunities, and capital that moves.”

The Africa Tech Summit London investment showcase continues to provide a platform connecting leading African tech ventures and investors.

This year, 13 ventures offering solutions across SAAS, Fintech, Legal, Healthtech, HRTech, Blockchain, Payments, Climatetech, and Cybersecurity have been selected and they include:
