The Forum for Education, Technology, and Innovation (FETI-Africa) empowers the education ecosystem through digital transformation, unlocks opportunities for all, and shapes the global narrative of digital education from Africa’s perspective. It will provide a practical and forward-looking platform to explore how innovation and emerging technology can transform education, drive employability, and stimulate entrepreneurship.
FETI – Africa is a conference, workshop, and expo series organized by Relinked Group in collaboration with a network of education, innovation, and technology partners to foster collective action and shared learning between governments, academia, the private sector, innovators, and youth.
Access to digital tools and opportunities remains uneven across Africa due to challenges such as inadequate digital infrastructure, limited exposure to emerging technologies, and insufficient innovation capacity within institutions and communities. The continent also faces a significant skills gap that constrains employability and economic growth, especially among young people. These disparities are compounded by persistent social and economic inequalities, which are further intensified by the rapid pace of global digital transformation.
The Forum for Education, Technology, and Innovation (FETI-Africa) serves as a convening platform that strengthens education, fosters job creation, and enhances youth employability through technological innovation and digital transformation.
FETI – Africa envisions an inclusive education and innovation ecosystem that leaves no learner, youth, or innovator behind.
The forum will proactively empower educators, institutions, policymakers, learners, and young people to thrive in a fast-evolving global digital economy through its convenings, workshops, and strategic partnerships.
The Forum seeks to:
- Empower education ecosystems through digital transformation and innovation.
