FDC Summit has announced a strategic partnership with Africa Health ExCon 2026, aiming to foster regional dialogue and collaboration on the future of digital healthcare across Egypt and Africa, as technology increasingly becomes a key enabler of sustainable development and healthcare transformation.
The partnership seeks to create new avenues for engagement among policymakers, healthcare leaders, technology experts, and industry stakeholders to address emerging opportunities and challenges shaping the continent’s digital health ecosystem.
The collaboration aligns with FDC Summit’s vision as a regional platform for the digital industry, bringing together international organizations, business leaders, and technology experts to discuss the trends and innovations redefining the digital economy and strategic sectors.
Through specialized discussions and cross-sector collaboration, the summit aims to facilitate knowledge exchange and promote greater integration between technology and key industries to support digital transformation and sustainable development.
Commenting on the partnership, Tarek Shabka, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of FDC Summit, said the collaboration with Africa Health ExCon reflects the summit’s strategy of expanding the digital dialogue to encompass sectors that play a critical role in economic and social development.
“Our partnership with Africa Health ExCon underscores our vision of strengthening the convergence between technology and development-driven sectors,” Shabka said. “It also reaffirms our commitment to serving as a regional platform that builds bridges between governments, institutions, and global companies.”
He added that the initiative forms part of FDC Summit’s broader regional expansion strategy aimed at strengthening its presence across African markets through specialized dialogues and strategic partnerships that contribute to shaping the future of digital transformation on the continent.
The partnership will serve as a model for cooperation between leading specialized platforms and will provide a forum for discussing the most pressing issues and trends influencing the future of healthcare in the digital era.
The initiative will feature a series of high-level panel discussions and roundtables bringing together policymakers, healthcare and technology leaders, investors, and innovation experts from across Africa to explore the opportunities and challenges associated with digital transformation in healthcare.
Participants will examine the role of digital infrastructure, connectivity, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and health data in improving healthcare services, while also addressing mechanisms to support innovation, investment, and startups operating in the digital health sector.
By bringing together expertise from both the technology and healthcare communities, the partnership aims to contribute to the development of more efficient, resilient, and future-ready healthcare systems capable of meeting the evolving needs of African societies.
