Accelerating Africa: Investing in Mobility and e-Mobility Innovation

Mar 13, 2025

10:00am – 11:00am CT

Mobility across Africa’s 54 countries is shaped by fragmented infrastructure, diverse regulatory environments, and 42 different currencies. From last mile logistics to emerging e-mobility solutions, startups are developing innovative, scalable models to tackle the continent’s unique challenges—including climate impact, energy access, and sustainable transportation.

Learn how startups are driving mobility transformation, the role of fintech, Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), and e-mobility solutions, and what it takes to scale these innovations in Africa’s dynamic markets. We’ll explore the gaps, opportunities, and investment trends shaping the continent’s mobility future, from electrification and charging infrastructure to smart logistics and cross-border transport solutions.
