Why Termii Elevate 4.0 Matters for Africa’s Tech Ecosystem

"You can’t build a digital continent without trusted infrastructure to power how we connect, transact, and grow."

From Experiment to Ecosystem Platform

What began in 2022 as a small convening of developers and startup founders has since evolved into one of the  boldest stages for communications innovation. Termii Elevate was built around a simple insight: Africa’s businesses need more than just funding or policy to grow. They need infrastructure, and more importantly, they need conversations that shape how that infrastructure is imagined.

Now in its fourth edition, Termii Elevate 4.0 is no longer just a conference. It’s a statement about where Africa is headed, and who will help build that future.

Why Termii Is Driving This Conversation

Termii is one of Africa’s fastest-growing CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) companies. With offices in Lagos, Abidjan, and San Jose, and a product suite powering customer engagement across millions of users, Termii has built more than just APIs. It’s built trust.

This positions Termii not only as a product company, but as a platform driving deeper conversations about scale, identity, infrastructure, and the role of virtual communication in an increasingly digital continent. Elevate 4.0 is where those conversations will converge.

"To scale startups, scale trust. To scale trust, build communication infrastructure."

The 2025 Theme: The Future of Virtual Communications in Africa

This year’s theme reflects a critical pivot. From WhatsApp bots to AI-driven customer engagement tools - the way businesses engage their customers is evolving rapidly. But behind these tools are real questions about scalability, security, localization, and access. The 2025 edition of Elevate takes these questions head-on.

Key agenda highlights include:

• Fireside Chat: On where Africa's Virtual Communication Industry Headed
• Breakout Session with Wetech: Exploring AI-powered communication for growth.
• Developer Track Breakout Session: Deep dives into building real-world communication tools for African markets.
• AI x Innovation Pitch Competition: A live showcase of Africa’s most ambitious early-stage startups tackling real-world problems with tech.
• Product Showcase: See the latest from Termii’s product and engineering teams, plus partner demos.

Relevance in Today’s Tech Climate

Africa’s tech ecosystem is at a tipping point. The AI race is on. Infrastructure gaps are being exposed. Trust is a currency that platforms must now earn, not just claim. And in the middle of all of this lies one undeniable truth: if we don’t fix how we communicate, we can’t fix how we grow.

This is what makes Elevate 4.0 so timely. It's not just showcasing tech; it's shaping the principles that will guide Africa’s digital future.
