Thanks to the YALI Alumni EXPO. We are excited to announce that Digital Realm Entertainment will be participating in the prestigious African Tech Festival 2024 in Cape Town this November, all thanks to our involvement with the YALI Alumni Expo. This opportunity marks another milestone in our mission to revolutionize the African gaming and entertainment industries through innovation, creativity, and immersive technologies.
About African Tech Festival
The African Tech Festival is one of the largest and most influential gatherings of technology professionals and innovators on the continent. It serves as a hub for ideas, solutions, and partnerships that aim to drive Africa’s digital transformation. The festival covers a wide range of topics, from telecommunications and infrastructure to emerging technologies like AR, VR, XR, and the Metaverse—areas that are at the core of Digital Realm Entertainment’s vision.
Participating in this festival gives us the unique opportunity to share our innovations with a global audience, form strategic partnerships, and position ourselves as a leader in the growing African gaming and digital entertainment landscape.
What We’ll Be Showcasing
At the African Tech Festival, we’ll be highlighting our work in interactive gaming, immersive technologies, and our impact-driven initiatives such as:
- The Genesis Hub Africa (GHA) Initiative – Our initiative focused on bridging the gap between the creative and technology sectors, creating opportunities for African creators to collaborate and innovate in the gaming industry.
- Games for Fun, Games for Inclusion – Our gaming initiative designed to foster inclusion and social change through interactive digital experiences, promoting positive narratives and representation in gaming.
- Our First Game in Production – We will be providing exclusive insights into the development of our first major game, which aims to not only entertain but also empower and uplift African stories and creators.
We’ll also showcase our suite of immersive technologies (AR, VR, XR, Metaverse) and how we’re leveraging them to create unique experiences in entertainment, sports, and education through our end-to-end Creative Tech Gaming Company model.
The Role of the YALI Alumni Expo
Thanks to our participation in the YALI Alumni Expo, we were selected to represent some of the continent’s most promising startups at the African Tech Festival. The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) has been a major force in supporting the next generation of African innovators and leaders, and through their Alumni Expo, we were able to gain the exposure needed to attend this significant event.
This is a huge step forward for us, as the YALI Alumni network has provided us with access to mentorship, resources, and global opportunities that have been instrumental in our growth. Through the YALI Expo, we’ve had the chance to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs and gain recognition for our work in the African gaming industry.
Why This Matters
Cape Town’s African Tech Festival is more than just an opportunity to showcase our innovations. It’s a chance to connect with industry leaders, potential partners, and investors who can help us accelerate our growth, expand our market reach, and scale our impact initiatives.
By attending, Digital Realm Entertainment aims to:
- Form strategic partnerships that will help us bring more African stories and creators to the global stage.
- Expand our product offerings by exploring new markets and finding new applications for our immersive technologies.
- Fundraise for future projects, including the completion of our first game and the development of additional tools and platforms that foster creative and technological growth in Africa.
We Take big pride in being part of the YALI Community and Honored to be selected in the Impact YALI100 amongst all other +500 Alumni attending the event. Its an honor and milestone.
