13 Startups Just Got Selected To Pitch At The London Stock Exchange With Africa Tech Summit – Here’s Who Made The Cut

When Africa Tech Summit London launched its first edition, Africa’s startup scene was still working to get on the radar of global investors. The 10th edition, taking place at the London Stock Exchange on 29 May 2026, looks nothing like it did then.

Africa Tech Summit London has announced the 13 ventures selected for its Investment Showcase at this year’s event. Chosen from more than 200 applications, these are the companies that made the cut to pitch in front of 350-plus investors, corporates and industry stakeholders at the LSE.

Marc Mugenwa, Business Development Manager at Africa Tech Summit, noted that the quality of ventures applying has risen significantly over the decade: “The ecosystem is far more mature now, and the quality of ventures applying for the Investment Showcase continues to rise.”

The summit has showcased more than 100 high-growth African ventures to global investors over the past decade. This year’s group highlights the diversity in what the continent’s startup scene is building in 2026: infrastructure plays in fintech and payments sit alongside climate tech, creator economy tools, health access platforms and developer tooling.

Pitching at the London Stock Exchange carries weight. For African founders building companies with global ambitions, access to European and international institutional investors remains one of the most valuable outcomes of events like this. The LSE setting makes the point clearly enough — these are investor-ready companies, not early demos.
