NextUp is a youth breakfast meeting powered by Drive to Inspire Africa (DTI-A). It brings together entrepreneurs, innovators, and creatives to explore how technology and culture are shaping Africa’s future. The event takes place at the Accra International Conference Centre on 4th February 2026.

NextUp is for young professionals, entrepreneurs, innovators, and creatives at the intersection of technology and culture. Whether you’re building, operating, aspiring or learning, NextUp is the catalyst.

NextUp is where knowledge meets inspiration, experience meets aspiration, where connections are forged, and where the next generation of African leaders gain the tools, insights, and confidence to turn ambition into action, action into impact. Africa’s youth are no longer just passive participants in the global economy; they’re the next world builders.

The conversations at NextUp cut through noise and address the practical realities of fundraising, innovating for sustainability, and building what actually scales. NextUp gives you real-world, one-of-a-kind insights on creative ventures, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies driving Africa’s growth.
