“
The digitalization agenda has become an imperative for all economies globally. As governments, citizens and businesses increasingly digitize their operations, it’s necessary to ensure that everyone’s rights are protected, the inevitable effects of the digital divide are minimized, and that the benefits of digitalization such as improved efficiency are maximized. This requires the joint effort of all key players in the Legal Tech space in Africa. As an ecosystem builder, the Legal Tech Lab at the Innovation village is proud to host the 1st iteration of Future Lawyer Week Africa. This conference will shine a light on the budding LegalTech sector in Africa and build its capacity to serve the continent better. ”
