Promoting the East Africa Investor Tour in Estonia
Our CEO Pierre Jallow and Senior Partner Heigo Erm kicked off our Estonian tour with a focus on promoting the East Africa Investor Tour. Our first stop was Latitude59, a major event in North-East Europe, or the New Nordics as they say. Great atmosphere, interesting people, exciting interactions.
Fantastic work, again, from Liisi Org, Kaspar Kitsing, Dolores Daniel and the whole Latitude59 team. Thank you! We connected with innovative startups, investors and organisations. Some are already passionate about Africa’s potential; others are yet to see success cases experienced by a friend or a partner.
We discussed exciting opportunities across sectors in East Africa and the importance of fostering investments that drive sustainable growth and technological advancement. It was inspiring to see the enthusiasm from the Estonian and European startup and investment community towards East African markets. Or was it FOMO in some cases…
Next stop: Africa Business Forum 2025
Africa’s rapid digital evolution is opening new avenues for sector diversification, job creation and improved livelihoods. Continuous investment in infrastructure and innovative solutions is vital to secure data sovereignty and promote green, sustainable development.
The forum touched on mutually beneficial collaboration, co-creation and blended financing to drive impactful change, with expert insights and meaningful dialogue on shaping the future of Africa’s economies.
A big thank you to the organisers Daniel Schaer and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia, moderators Joel Karubiu and Anett Numa, and all participants. It’s a must-see event, so we’ll surely be there next time: our 4th. Looking forward to continuing the conversations that shape new opportunities.
